Elachistidae
The Elachistidae (grass-miner moths) are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths. In fact, most of these moths appear to be either closer to the Oecophorinae and are hence nowadays usually included in the Oecophoridae (Depressariinae, "Deuterogoniinae", Hypertrophinae, Stenomatinae and perhaps the enigmatic ''Aeolanthes''), or constitute quite basal lineages of gelechioids, neither closely related to ''Elachista'' nor to '' Oecophora'', and hence best treated as independent families within the Gelechioidea (Agonoxenidae, Ethmiidae). The genus ''Coelopoeta'' is sometimes still placed here, but probably belongs in the Oecophorinae. Consequently, the Elachistidae are essentially identical to the subfamily Elachis ...

Stephensia Cedronellae
''Stephensia cedronellae'' is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found on the Canary Islands. The wingspan is 6.5–7 mm. The forewings are tawny fuscous, with some faint pale sprinkling. The hindwings are dark grey. The larvae feed on ''Bystropogon origanifolius'', ''Bystropogon plumosus'', ''Calamintha'', '' Cedronella canariensis'', '' Lavandula canariensis'', ''Lavandula stoechas'', ''Mentha'' and '' Micromeria''. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a narrow gallery, often following the leaf margin for some distance. The mine ends in a large full depth blotch. In the corridor, the frass Frass refers loosely to the more or less solid excreta of insects, and to certain other related matter.

Henry Tibbats Stainton
Henry Tibbats Stainton (13 August 1822 – 2 December 1892) was an English entomologist. He served as an editor for two popular entomology periodicals of his period, ''The Entomologist's Annual'' and ''The Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer''. Biography Stainton was the son of Henry Stainton, belonging to a wealthy family in Lewisham. After being privately tutored, he went to King's College London. He was the author of ''A Manual of British Butterflies and Moths'' (1857–59) and with the German entomologist Philipp Christoph Zeller, a Swiss, Heinrich Frey and another Englishman, John William Douglas of ''The Natural History of the Tineina'' (1855–73). He undertook editing William Buckler's and John Hellins' work, following their deaths: ''The Larvae of the British Butterflies and Moths''. He was also a prolific editor of entomological periodicals, including the ''Entomologist's Weekly Intelligencer'' (1856–61) and the ''Entomologist's Monthly Magazine'' (1864 until hi ...

Stephensia Abbreviatella
''Stephensia abbreviatella'' is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found in France, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Romania and Turkey. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan o ... is 9–11 mm. The larvae feed on wood forget-me-not ('' Myosotis sylvatica''). They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts in a low leaf and has the form of a short, lower-surface corridor that quickly widens into a full depth, transparent blotch. Some silk is deposited in the mine. Before hibernation, the larvae make a new mine, consisting of a fairly broad corridor along the midrib, lined with silk. After overwintering, the larvae make several new mines. Pupation takes place outside of the mine, in the soil. Larvae can be found from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stephensia Armata
''Stephensia armata'' is a Central American moth of the family Elachistidae and Gelechioidea superfamily, discovered in 1998 at Las Cuevas Research Station, in Belize's Chiquibul Forest Reserve. Physiology The wingspan is approximately , with a forewing length of . It is distinguishable by the 2-3 teeth arming the valvae, from which it gets its name. The species is remarkable for the single transverse fascia of the forewing, and long lobes of the valvae and juxta. Coloration is largely pale ochre or grey-brown. The underside and head are paler, while its back and wings are grey-brown or dark ochre. Pale ochre scales spread across every segment distally. ''S. armata'' is distinct from congeneric American species of moth in the deep split between the juxta lobes, and its relatively small uncus. It is noticeably apomorphic in its phylogeny A phylogenetic tree (also phylogeny or evolutionary tree Felsenstein J. (2004). ''Inferring Phylogenies'' Sinauer Associates: Sunderland, ...

Stephensia Brunichella
''Stephensia brunnichella'' is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in Europe and east into the Palearctic. Description The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The head is dark bronzy. Antennae with white subapical band. Forewings are dark bronzyfuscous; a subbasal fascia, another before middle, an erect tornal spot, and a costal spot before apex pale golden-metallic. Hindwings are dark grey. The larva is green-whitish; dorsal line dark green; head and plate of 2 blackish. Biology The larvae feed on lesser calamint ('' Calamintha nepeta''), wild basil ('' Clinopodium vulgare'') and '' Satureja calamintha'' mining the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts as a long, narrow, full depth gallery running toward the leaf tip and the frass is found in a narrow central line. After reaching the leaf tip, the mine becomes a large, full depth, brown blotch. Here, the frass is deposited in black lumps and the larvae may vacate the mine and start elsewhere.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his Nobility#Ennoblement, ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In ...
