Epirrita Filigrammaria
''Epirrita filigrammaria'', the small autumnal moth or small autumnal carpet, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was Species description, first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1846. It is found in Scotland, northern England, Wales and Ireland. ''Epirrita filigrammaria'' is Endemic species, endemic to the British Isles The wingspan is 30–38 mm. The ground colour is greyish brown. There are a few small dark bands across the forewings (sometimes obscure) and a well-defined fringe along the edge of the forewings. It is very similar to its congeners , the autumnal moth (''Epirrita autumnata''), the November moth (''Epirrita dilutata'' ) and the pale November moth (''Epirrita christyi'') .

Epirrita Autumnata
The autumnal moth (''Epirrita autumnata'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Moritz Balthasar Borkhausen in 1794. It is found throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East and has a much wider distribution than its two close relatives (see below). In Sápmi (Lapland), in some years, the numerous autumnal moth larvae defoliate square miles of birch forests on mountains. Description This species is very similar to the November moth, the small Autumnal moth, and the pale November moth, and identification is usually only possible by examining the genitalia. In general, this is the least variable of the four, with melanic forms occurring less often. It is also usually on the wing earlier in the year, flying in September and October, although the flight seasons of all three species overlap. The caterpillar feeds on a wide variety of trees and shrubs.Hogan, C. Michael (2008)"Douglas-fir: ''Pseudotsuga menziesii''". globalTwitcher.com, e ...

Epirrita Christyi
The pale November moth (''Epirrita christyi'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Allen in 1906. It is a fairly common species in Western Europe including the British Isles. This species is almost identical to its relatives the November moth , the small autumnal moth and the autumnal moth and it is almost impossible to identify them without examination of the genitalia. See Townsend et al.Martin C. Townsend, Jon Clifton and Brian Goodey (2010)''British and Irish Moths: An Illustrated Guide to Selected Difficult Species'' (covering the use of genitalia characters and other features) Butterfly Conservation. In general, although melanism occurs regularly in this species it is less prevalent than in the November moth. The pale November moth flies at night from September to November and is attracted to light. The larva feeds on a variety of trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as an egg. #''The flight season refers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Epirrita Dilutata
The November moth (''Epirrita dilutata'') is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It can be found in the Palearctic realm in western Europe from central Scandinavia to the Mediterranean the Caucasus and western Russia. The wingspan is 38–44 mm, the forewings being variably marked with alternating pale and dark bands. The forewing ground colour is pale with darker grey and tinted brown. It has wavy lines. The hindwing is white grey with two lines. The distal fascia points in to the discal spot. Melanism is common and in some locations all-dark individuals make up the majority of the population. The species is extremely similar to three of its relatives, the pale November moth , the autumnal moth and the small autumnal moth and they cannot usually be separated without examination of the genitalia.

Jacob Hübner
Jacob Hübner (20 June 1761 – 13 September 1826, in Augsburg) was a German entomologist. He was the author of ''Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge'' (1796–1805), a founding work of entomology. Scientific career Hübner was the author of ''Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge'' (1796–1805), a founding work of entomology. He was one of the first specialists to work on the European Lepidoptera. He described many new species, for example ''Sesia bembeciformis'' and ''Euchloe tagis'', many of them common. He also described many new genus, genera. He was a designer and engraver and from 1786 he worked for three years as a designer and engraver at a cotton factory in Ukraine. There he collected butterflies and moths including descriptions and illustrations of some in ''Beiträge zur Geschichte der Schmetterlinge'' (1786–1790) along with other new species from the countryside around his home in Augsburg. Hübner's masterwork "Tentamen" was intended as a discussion document. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geometer Moth
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 ...

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
