Calosima Munroei
''Calosima munroei'' is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found in the Marin and Contra Costa counties of coastal California. The length of the forewings is 7.4–9 mm. Larvae have been reared from cones of ''Cupressus goveniana'', '' Cupressus sargenti'' and also from dead willow. Etymology The species is named in honor of Eugene Munroe Eugene Gordon Munroe (8 September 1919 – 31 May 2008) was a Canadian entomologist who discovered numerous species of insects.

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.

Blastobasidae
The Blastobasidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Its species can be found almost anywhere in the world, though in some places they are not native but introduced by humans. In some arrangements, these moths are included in the case-bearer family (Coleophoridae) as subfamily Blastobasinae. The Symmocidae are sometimes included in the Blastobasidae (particularly if both are included in Coleophoridae) as subfamily or tribe. In addition, the group around ''Holcocera'' is often separated as subfamily Holcocerinae (or tribe Holcocerini) from the ''Blastobasis'' lineage (which correspondingly become a subfamily, or a tribe Blastobasini). While this seems far more reasonable than some of the more extreme arrangements sometimes seen in Gelechioidea taxonomy and systematics, the relationships among Blastobasidae genera are not yet sufficiently studied to allow a well-supported subdivision of this family. Description and ecology The adults are generally small, slende ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Cupressus Goveniana
''Cupressus goveniana'', now reclassified as ''Hesperocyparis goveniana'', with the common names Californian cypress and Gowen cypress, is a species of cypress, that is endemic to California. Distribution The tree is endemic to the Monterey Peninsula in coastal Monterey County, located on the Central Coast of California, in the Western United States. The tree is found in small, scattered populations, and not in large forests of its species. ''Hesperocyparis goveniana'' occurs with ''Hesperocyparis macrocarpa'' (Monterey cypress), in the two groves where the Monterey cypress occurs naturally, in Monterey County. Outside of California, ''Hesperocyparis goveniana'' has been introduced to Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile. It is on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. Description ''Hesperocyparis goveniana'' is an evergreen tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown, very variable in size, with mature trees of under on some sites, to tall in ideal conditions.

Cupressus Sargenti
''Cupressus'' is one of several genera of evergreen conifers within the family Cupressaceae that have the common name cypress; for the others, see cypress. It is considered a polyphyletic group. Based on genetic and morphological analysis, the genus ''Cupressus'' is found in the subfamily Cupressoideae. The common name "cypress" comes via the Old French ''cipres'' from the Latin ''cyparissus'', which is the latinisation of the Greek κυπάρισσος (''kypárissos''). Taxonomy There has long been significant uncertainty about the New World members of ''Cupressus'', with several studies recovering them as forming a distinct clade from the Old World members. A 2021 molecular study found ''Cupressus'' to be the sister genus to '' Juniperus'', whereas the western members (classified in '' Callitropsis'' and '' Hesperocyparis'') were found to be sister to '' Xanthocyparis''. Description They are evergreen trees or large shrubs, growing to 5–40 m tall. The leaves are scale ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
