Drepanogynis Incogitata
''Drepanogynis'' is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). Long considered to hold about 5 dozen species, this number has been doubled after the last major revision. They are stout-bodied and hairy by geometer moth standards, usually have pale hindwings and rest with their wings angled upwards like a roof, as Nacophorini do. The genus is by and large restricted to Africa south of the Equator, with most species occurring in southern Africa. This genus belongs to the subfamily Ennominae. Therein, its relationships are not quite clear, but they may indeed belong into the tribe Nacophorini. These they resemble in general appearance as mentioned above, as well as having an anellus with lateral processes, a simple rodlike uncus, a strong gnathos, simple valvae and an aedeagus with separate cornuti. Closely related genera seem to be '' Argyrophora'', '' Hebdomophruda'', '' Microligia'' and '' Pseudomaenas''. Selected species Species of ''Drepanogynis'' include:< ...

Drepanogynis Bifasciata
''Drepanogynis bifasciata'', the Sargasso Emerald, is a species of moth of the family Geometridae Species description, first described by Hermann Dewitz in 1881. It is found in South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe. Description "Forewing 13-16mm. Thorax green, abdomen brown; forewings green, marked with 2 wide, meandering white lines (edged with brown in some specimens) and white ring between, margins with white flashes, sometimes brown between these; hindwings white basally with central brown cell spot, wide light brown margin often chequered brown and white."

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can reproduction, produce Fertility, fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
