Dicallomera Nivalis
''Dicallomera'' is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy Linnaeus first described ''Phalaena bombyx fascelina'' in 1758. Arthur Gardiner Butler first created the genus ''Dicallomera'' in 1881, for which he made ''Dicallomera fascelina'' the type species. In 1887 Otto Staudinger moved this species to the genus ''Dasychira'', and also described a new species, ''D. nivalis'' -he had previously described ''D. pumila'' in 1881, and would later describe ''D. obscurata'' in 1900 (now a subspecies of '' Dicallomera nivalis''). In 1934 Felix Bryk moved it and a number of ''Dasychira'' species to the genus ''Olene''. Igor Vasilii Kozhanchikov followed Bryk in 1950, but Douglas C. Ferguson in 1978 moved ''O. fascelina'' and a number of species back to Butler's ''Dicallomera''. One new species, ''Dicallomera kusnezovi'' from Wrangel Island in far northern Arctic Russia, was described in 1989 by Vladimir A. Lukhtanov and Khruliova, and a few other species were mov ...

Dicallomera Fascelina
''Dicallomera fascelina'', the dark tussock, is a moth in the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It is found in most of Europe, through the Palearctic to Central Asia to Korea. Technical description and variation The wingspan is 35–45 mm. "Forewing ash-grey, lighter at the costal margin, with black and yellow irrorations, the median area bounded on the inner side by a regularly curved dark transverse line and on the outer side by a similar one twice or three times broken; both lines being most distinct at the costal margin. Hindwing grey or whitish. ab. ''proletaria'' Strand does not attain more than 29 mm. in the male; it is also distinguished by the ground colour of both wings being olive-grey, with the two transverse lines rather indistinct and not reaching the hindmargin, while the discocellular spot is more conspicuous than in true ''fascelina''. - ''medicagitlis'' Hbn. is darker i ...

Gynaephora
''Gynaephora'' is a genus of "tussock moths", also known as the Lymantriinae, within the family Erebidae. They are mainly found in the Holarctic in alpine, Arctic and Subarctic regions, and are best known for their unusually long larval development period. The life-cycle of ''Gynaephora groenlandica'' was once believed to take fourteen years, but subsequent studies reduced it to seven, still a very slow development rate that is extremely rare in the Lepidoptera. The caterpillars have five instars, with each instar lasting a year. Taxonomy The European species '' Gynaephora selenitica'' was the first described (as ''Phalaena selenitica''). It was moved to ''Gynaephora'' by Jakob Hübner in 1819 and subsequently designated as type species by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. In Kirby's time there were three species recognised in the genus: ''G. selenitica'', ''G. pluto'' (now '' Xylophanes pluto'') and ''G. xerampelina'' (now '' Aroa xerampelina''). ''Laria rossii'' had been desc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Oberthür
Charles Oberthür (14 September 1845 – 1 June 1924) was a French amateur entomologist specializing in lepidoptera. Biography Charles Oberthür was born in Rennes, the son of the printer François-Charles Oberthür and Marie Hamelin, and brother of the entomologist René Oberthür. At the age of sixteen he entered the family printing house (which was responsible in particular for printing postal calendars and national lottery tickets) and quickly became a good lithographer. In 1870, he married Louise Le Ray. He is buried in the Cimetière du Nord in a chapel built by his brother-in-law Emmanuel Le Ray, a municipal architect. Politics Oberthür was for some time a member of the municipal council of Rennes. Between 1900 and 1906, he served as first deputy to the mayor, Eugène Pinault. In 1906, he ran as deputy for Ille-et-Vilaine against René Le Hérissé and Mr. Jaouen in the first constituency of the Arrondissement of Rennes. He scored well in the first round (8,151 votes ...

Shōnen Matsumura
was a Japanese entomologist. Born in Akashi, Hyōgo, Dr. Shōnen Matsumura established Japan's first course on entomology at Hokkaido University. The courses were both applied (on insects of importance in forestry and agriculture) and theoretical. He named over 1,200 species of Japanese insects and in 1926 he founded the entomological journal ''Insecta Matsumurana.'' Matsumura wrote many scientific papers and books including ''6,000 illustrated Insects of Japan-Empire'' (1931). He died in Tokyo. His collection is in Hokkaido University in Sapporo.

10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of '' Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature, and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, even if they would otherwise satisfy the rules. The only ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sergei Chetverikov
Sergei Sergeevich Chetverikov (russian: Серге́й Серге́евич Четверико́в; 6 May 1880 – 2 July 1959) was a Russian biologist and one of the early contributors to the development of the field of genetics. His research showed how early genetic theories applied to natural populations, and has therefore contributed towards the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory. Between the two World Wars, Soviet biological research managed to connect genetics with field research on natural populations. Chetverikov lead a team at the Nikolai Koltsov Institute of Experimental Biology in Moscow, and in 1926 produced what should have been one of the landmark papers of the modern synthesis. However, published only in Russian, it was largely ignored in the English-speaking world (though J.B.S. Haldane possessed a translation). Chetverikov influenced several Russian geneticists who later came to work in the West, such as Theodosius Dobzhansky and Nikolay Timofeev-Ressovsky ...
