Declana Floccosa
''Declana floccosa'', the forest semilooper or manuka moth is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is Endemism, endemic to New Zealand. It was first described by Francis Walker (entomologist), Francis Walker in 1863 using specimens obtained from Colonel Bolton. The wingspan of this species is 27–35 mm and is extremely variable in colour and patterning. The larvae feed on a wide range of native and exotic broad-leaved and coniferous shrubs and trees. Exotic hosts include ''Pinus radiata'' and other ''Pinus'' species, ''Pseudotsuga menziesii'', ''Larix'' and ''Eucalyptus''. Native hosts include Muehlenbeckia australis. Population decline and recovery A longitudinal study from 1974 to 2016 indicated the population of this moth declined sharply in the study area in the mid 1980s but began to recover in the late 1990s. It has been hypothesised that the arrival of ''Vespula vulgaris'' in New Zealand might be the cause of the population decline. It was also hypothesised that th ...

Endemic Fauna Of New Zealand
Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can be also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or in scientific literature as an ''endemite''. For example '' Cytisus aeolicus'' is an endemite of the Italian flora. '' Adzharia renschi'' was once believed to be an endemite of the Caucasus, but it was later discovered to be a non-indigenous species from South America belonging to a different genus. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. A rare alternative term for a species that is endemic is "precinctive", which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geometridae Genera
The geometer moths are moths belonging to the family Geometridae of the insect order Lepidoptera, the moths and butterflies. Their scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek ''geo'' γεω (derivative form of or "the earth"), and ''metron'' "measure" in reference to the way their larvae, or inchworms, appear to measure the earth as they move along in a looping fashion. A very large family, it has around 23,000 species of moths described, and over 1400 species from six subfamilies indigenous to North America alone. A well-known member is the peppered moth, ''Biston betularia'', which has been subject of numerous studies in population genetics. Several other geometer moths are notorious pests. Adults Many geometrids have slender abdomens and broad wings which are usually held flat with the hindwings visible. As such, they appear rather butterfly-like, but in most respects they are typical moths; the majority fly at night, they possess a frenulum to link the wings, and the ...

Declana Griseata
''Declana griseata'' is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species is classified as "At Risk, Declining" by the Department of Conservation. Taxonomy ''Declana griseata'' was first described and illustrated by George Vernon Hudson in 1898. Hudson further discussed and illustrated the species both in his 1928 and 1939 publications. The lectotype specimen is held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Description Hudson gave a description and illustration of the larvae of this species in his 1939 publication. In appearance the larvae are extremely variable but it is able to mimic the appearance of a twig on its host plant. The pupa are enclosed in a cocoon made of moss and plant detritus and can be found on the ground. Hudson described the adult moth as follows: Distribution ''Declana griseata'' is endemic to New Zealand. This species range is from the Bay of Plenty/Taupo to Southland.
