Borocera Cajani
''Borocera cajani'', also known as ''landibe'' in Malagasy, is a species of silk-producing lasiocampid moth endemic to Madagascar. It is often confused with the similar ''Borocera madagascariensis'', which has the same Malagasy name. However, ''B. cajani'' is the species associated with silk production in highland Madagascar, while ''B. madagascariensis'' is found in the coastal portion of the island. Landibe moths are distributed throughout the highland tapia forests of inland Madagascar, including the zones of and Itremo massif, Isalo National Park, and the '' Col des Tapia''. It flies all year within the tapia forest. ''B. cajani'' produces a form of wild silk which has been harvested by the indigenous Malagasy people of the Madagascar highlands for hundreds of years. Silk production and weaving take place in different communities. A local center for the production of ''landibe'' silk is the central Madagascar town of Sahatsiho Ambohimanjaka. Wild ''landibe'' silk is t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean Baptiste Boisduval
Jean Baptiste Alphonse Déchauffour de Boisduval (24 June 1799 – 30 December 1879) was a French lepidopterist, botanist, and physician. He was one of the most celebrated lepidopterists of France, and was the co-founder of the Société entomologique de France. While best known abroad for his work in entomology, he started his career in botany, collecting a great number of French plant specimens and writing broadly on the topic throughout his career, including the textbook ''Flores française'' in 1828. Early in his career, he was interested in Coleoptera and allied himself with both Jean Théodore Lacordaire and Pierre André Latreille. He was the curator of the Pierre Françoise Marie Auguste Dejean collection in Paris and described many species of beetles, as well as butterflies and moths, resulting from the voyages of the ''Astrolabe'', the expedition ship of Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse and the '' Coquille'', that of Louis Isidore Duperrey. He left Paris ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Lasiocampidae
The Lasiocampidae are a family of moths also known as eggars, tent caterpillars, snout moths (although this also refers to the Pyralidae), or lappet moths. Over 2,000 species occur worldwide, and probably not all have been named or studied. It is the sole family in superfamily Lasiocampoidea. Etymology Their common name "snout moths" comes from the unique protruding mouth parts of some species which resemble a large nose. They are called "lappet moths" due to the decorative skin flaps found on the caterpillar's prolegs. The name "eggars" comes from the neat egg-shaped cocoons of some species. The scientific name is from the Greek ' (wooly) and ' (caterpillar). Description Caterpillars of this family are large and are most often hairy, especially on their sides. Most have skin flaps on their prolegs and a pair of dorsal glands on their abdomens. They feed on leaves of many different trees and shrubs, and often use these same plants to camouflage their cocoons. Some species are ...

Borocera Attenuata
''Borocera attenuata'' is a species of Lasiocampidae moth native to Madagascar. It was first described by George Hamilton Kenrick Sir George Hamilton Kenrick FRES (1850 – 28 May 1939) was an English entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera especially those of New Guinea. He was a prominent liberal educationist and was a councillor in Birmingham. Life Kenrick was bor ... in 1914. The males have a wingspan of 46 mm. Their head, palpi and the underside of the thorax are dull orange; antennaes, legs, thorax above and abdomen have a dark chestnut colour. The forewings are dark brown and the hindwings smoky brown.Kenrick (1914). "New or little known Heterocera from Madagascar".

Borocera Madagascariensis
''Borocera madagascariensis'' is a species of lasiocampid moth endemic to coastal Madagascar. It is one of three species of silk producing moths found on the island of Madagascar. ''B. madagascariensis'' is often confused with the similar '' Borocera cajani'', which is distributed throughout the island and whose silk is more widely used for silk production. Many publications erroneously refer to ''B. cajani'' as ''B. madagascariensis''. It shares the common name of ''landibe'' with ''B. cajani''. The pupae of ''B. madagascariensis'' is consumed by the people of Madagascar, and is known in Malagasy as ''soherina''. ''B. madagascariensis'' feeds on ''Cajanus cajan'', ''Eugenia'', ''Manihot esculenta'', ''Prunus persica'', ''Psidium guajava'', and ''Uapaca bojeri ''Uapaca bojeri'', or tapia ( Malagasy pronunciation: ''ta-pee''), is a tree species endemic to Madagascar.
