Cephrenes Acalle
''Cephrenes acalle'', commonly known as the plain palm dart, is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy .... An examination of the type specimen showed that it was identical to ''Cephrenes chrysozona lompa'' Evans 1934 based on genitalia. This has led to ''Cephrenes chrysozona'' being treated as a synonym. The species breeds on palms including coconut, ''Calamus'', ''Elaeis'', ''Roystonea'' and ''Prychosperma''.

Gustavus Athol Waterhouse
Gustavus Athol Waterhouse (21 May 1877 – 29 July 1950), was an eminent Australian Entomology, entomologist. Waterhouse was born at Waverley, New South Wales, Waverley in Sydney. His father, Gustavus John, was a Tasmanian born ship owner who also served as an alderman on the City of Sydney, Sydney Municipal Council. His mother, Mary Jane, was also Australian born. Both parents were avid collectors: Gustavus senior collected Pacific Island Artifact (archaeology), artefacts; and Mary Jane collected shells. They had five children, Athol being the eldest. He was educated at Waverley Public, then at the Sydney Grammar School, where he was followed by his brothers—Eben Gowrie Waterhouse, Eben Gowrie and Leslie Vickery—and spent lunch hours browsing in the Australian Museum next door. After matriculation, matriculating from Grammar in 1895, Waterhouse enrolled at the University of Sydney, where he graduated with bachelor's degrees in Bachelor of Science, science (1899) and Bachelor ...

George Lyell
George Lyell (1866–1951) was an Australian naturalist. He was born on 25 July at Ararat, Victoria. His father, George senior, was a printer born in Scotland; his mother, Jane (née Avery), was born in England. Lyell was educated at Stawell State School. In his late teens, his family moved to South Melbourne, and Lyell worked for seven years, progressing from a position as a junior clerk to becoming the head of a dairy machinery department. In 1890 Lyell accepted a partnership with a different dairy appliance manufacturer, which was also the sole supplier of entomological equipment in Victoria. In 1914, together with Gustavus Athol Waterhouse Gustavus Athol Waterhouse (21 May 1877 – 29 July 1950), was an eminent Australian Entomology, entomologist.

Skipper (butterfly)
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.Ackery et al. (1999) Description and systematics Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea.

Indomalayan Realm
The Indomalayan realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms. It extends across most of South and Southeast Asia and into the southern parts of East Asia. Also called the Oriental realm by biogeographers, Indomalaya spreads all over the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia to lowland southern China, and through Indonesia as far as Sumatra, Java, Bali, and Borneo, east of which lies the Wallace line, the realm boundary named after Alfred Russel Wallace which separates Indomalaya from Australasia. Indomalaya also includes the Philippines, lowland Taiwan, and Japan's Ryukyu Islands. Most of Indomalaya was originally covered by forest, and includes tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, with tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests predominant in much of India and parts of Southeast Asia. The tropical forests of Indomalaya are highly variable and diverse, with economically important trees, especially in the families Dipterocarpaceae and Fabaceae. Major ecol ...

Australasian Realm
The Australasian realm is a biogeographic realm that is coincident with, but not (by some definitions) the same as, the geographical region of Australasia. The realm includes Australia, the island of New Guinea (comprising Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian province of Papua), and the eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago, including the island of Sulawesi, the Moluccan islands (the Indonesian provinces of Maluku and North Maluku), and the islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, and Timor, often known as the Lesser Sundas. The Australasian realm also includes several Pacific island groups, including the Bismarck Archipelago, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, and New Caledonia. New Zealand and its surrounding islands are a distinctive sub-region of the Australasian realm. The rest of Indonesia is part of the Indomalayan realm. In the classification scheme developed by Miklos Udvardy, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands and New Zealand are placed in the Oceania ...

Arecaceae
The Arecaceae is a family of perennial flowering plants in the monocot order Arecales. Their growth form can be climbers, shrubs, tree-like and stemless plants, all commonly known as palms. Those having a tree-like form are called palm trees. Currently, 181 genera with around 2,600 species are known, most of which are restricted to tropical and subtropical climates. Most palms are distinguished by their large, compound, evergreen leaves, known as fronds, arranged at the top of an unbranched stem. However, palms exhibit an enormous diversity in physical characteristics and inhabit nearly every type of habitat within their range, from rainforests to deserts. Palms are among the best known and most extensively cultivated plant families. They have been important to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms. In contemporary times, palms are also widely used in landscaping. In many historical cultures, because of their importance as ...

Cocos Nucifera
The coconut tree (''Cocos nucifera'') is a member of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus ''Cocos''. The term "coconut" (or the archaic "cocoanut") can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a Nut (fruit), nut. The name comes from the old Portuguese people, Portuguese word ''Coco (folklore), coco'', meaning "head" or "skull", after the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial features. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics. The coconut tree provides food, fuel, cosmetics, folk medicine and building materials, among many other uses. The inner flesh of the mature seed, as well as the coconut milk extracted from it, form a regular part of the diets of many people in the tropics and subtropics. Coconuts are distinct from other fruits because their endosperm contains a large quantity of clear liquid, called ''coconut water'' ...

Calamus (palm)
''Calamus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the palm family Arecaceae that are among several genera known as rattan palms. There are an estimated 400 species in this genus, all native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Description They are dioecious, mostly leaf-climbing lianas with slender, reedy stems. To aid scrambling some species have evolved hooks on the underside of the midrib, or more commonly by modified "pinnae" or tendrils in the form of stout, backward-pointing spines. These stems may grow to lengths of 200 metres. The fruits of certain species, in particular ''Calamus draco'', produce a red resin known as "Dragon's blood".

Cephrenes Augiades
''Cephrenes augiades'', the orange palm dart, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found from Indonesia to the Solomons. The wingspan is about 40 mm. Food The larvae of subspecies ''sperthias'' feed on ''Archontophoenix'', ''Livistona'' and ''Phoenix'' species. During the day it hides within a shelter made by using silk to join fronds of its host plant, which fold together and bend across each other naturally.
