Calpinae
The Calpinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1840. This subfamily includes many species of moths that have a pointed and barbed proboscis adapted to piercing the skins of fruit to feed on juice, and in the case of the several '' Calyptra'' species of vampire moths, to piercing the skins of mammals to feed on blood. The subfamily contains some large moths with wingspans longer than 5 cm (2 in). Taxonomy Recent phylogenetic studies have greatly revised this subfamily. The subfamily was previously classified within the Noctuidae, but the redefinition of that family has reclassified many of that family's subfamilies, including Calpinae, into the family Erebidae. The Calpinae are most closely related to a clade including the subfamilies Eulepidotinae and Hypocalinae, which are also among the Erebidae. The tribes Anomini and Scoliopterygini, previously included in the Calpinae, were found to be distantly related and we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calyptra (moth)
The genus ''Calyptra'' is a group of moths in subfamily Calpinae of the Family (biology), family Erebidae. They are a member of the Calpini tribe (biology), tribe, whose precise circumscription is uncertain but which includes a number of other fruit-piercing or eye-frequenting genera currently classified in Calpinae. Etymology The common name of many of these species, vampire moth, refers to the habit that they have of drinking blood from vertebrates. According to a recent study, some of them (''Calyptra thalictri, C. thalictri'') are even capable of Hematophagy, drinking human blood through skin. However, the moths are not thought to cause any threat to humans. Some species of this genus have been classified with genus name ''Calpe'', and they include more than one blood-sucker. Description Palpi porrect (extending forward), where the second joint and third joint fringed below with very long hair. The frontal tuft is large, with the metathorax having only very slight tufts. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tetrisia (moth)
''Tetrisia'' is an invalid genus name for a species of moths in the family Erebidae, containing a single species, ''T. florigera''. It was described by Francis Walker in 1867. It is found in South America, including Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia Colombia (, ; ), officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country in South America with insular regions in North America—near Nicaragua's Caribbean coast—as well as in the Pacific Ocean. The Colombian mainland is bordered by the Car .... Taxonomy The genus name is a homonym of '' Tetrisia'' Walker, 1867, a genus of plataspid bugs, published four months earlier, so the moth name must be formally replaced. The species '' Dysschema tricolora'' (Sulzer, 1776) has been mistakenly listed in the literature under the genus ''Tetrisia''.Zaspel, J.M., Branham, M.A. (2008) World Checklist of Tribe Calpini (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Calpinae).

Calpini
The Calpini are a tribe of fruit-piercing moths in the family Erebidae; formerly they were included in the family Noctuidae. The proboscis of the adult moths of this tribe is pointed and barbed, allowing the moth to pierce the skin of fruit to drink the juice. The vampire moths in the genus '' Calyptra'' can pierce mammal skin to drink blood.

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings ('' Catocala''); litter moths (Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths (Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth (''Gynaephora groenlandica''); piercing moths ( Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (> wingspan in the black witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adults spans the full range of dull, drab, and camouflaged (e.g., ''Zale lunifera'' and litter moths) to vi ...
