Eadmuna Esperans
''Eadmuna esperans'' is a species of moth of the family Mimallonidae.

It is the Federative_units_of_Brazil#List, fifth-most-populous state and the List of Brazilian st .... The length of the forewings is 17–20 mm. The forewings are light silvery brown, suffused with darker brown postmedially except near the apex. There is a weakly pronounced hyaline discal spot which is yellowish opaque rather than clear due to a covering of yellowish scales. The postmedial line is bulging in the costal half, scalloped, narrowly interrupted by the veins and weaker on the costal third except for a dark wedge on the costa.

Eadmuna Paloa
''Eadmuna paloa'' is a species of moth of the family Mimallonidae Mimallonidae Burmeister (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named species in 43 genera.

The length of the forewings is for males and for females. The forewings are silvery grey brown with contrasting, extensive speckling due to dark, petiolate scales. The postmedial region is roughly concolorous with the rest of the forewings, though the silvery sheen is lost near the margin, so the margin is a singed-brown colour. There is a hyaline discal spot which is prominent, large, very clear, not covered in scales and outlined by dark scales. There is also a very faint postmedial line bulging in the costal half, denta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eadmuna Pulverula
''Eadmuna pulverula'' is a species of moth of the family Mimallonidae. It is found in Brazil, where it has only been recorded from São Paulo. The length of the forewings is about 24 mm. The forewings are similar to those of the females of ''Eadmuna paloa ''Eadmuna paloa'' is a species of moth of the family Mimallonidae Mimallonidae Burmeister (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named sp ...'', but with a slightly more pronounced apex and overall darker coloration and heavier speckling due to a higher number of petiolate scales. The hyaline discal mark is smaller. The postmedial line is present, darker, thicker, brown, dentate and narrowly interrupted by veins. There is a dark wedge where the postmedial line meets the costa. The antemedial lines are present, bilobed and B-shaped, but straighter. The hindwings have similar coloration as the forewings, but are ...

Eadmuna Guianensis
''Eadmuna guianensis'' is a species of moth of the family Mimallonidae. It is found in Guyana Guyana ( or ), officially the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. Guyana is an indigenous word which means "Land of Many Waters". The capital city is Georgetown. Guyana is bordered by the ... and French Guiana, where it is found in Amazon rainforests. The length of the forewings is 18–20 mm. The forewings are brown and silvery grey, the brown colour is especially predominant distally from the thorax, with less extensive speckling due to a relative lack of dark, petiolate scales. The discal spot is not prominent, elongated, hyaline and yellowish opaque. The postmedial line is bulging in the costal half, scalloped, narrowly interrupted by veins and weaker on the costal third except for a dark wedge on the costa. The antemedial line is weak with dark chevron at the costal margin. The hindwings have a similar coloration a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mimallonidae
Mimallonidae Burmeister (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named species in 43 genera. These moths are found only in the New World, with most taxa occurring in the Neotropics. Adult moths are externally similar to those belonging to some of the other Macroheterocera families Bombycoidea and Drepanoidea, and thus have been variously treated as belonging to either one of these or other superfamilies. Distribution Mimallonids are restricted to the New World, and are distributed in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean (Cuba and The Bahamas). The vast majority of genera and species are found in the tropical regions of the New World, with only five described species from the United States. Biology Not much has been published on the natural history of adult Mimallonidae, though most species are thought to be nocturnal. At least three species ha ...

William Schaus
William Schaus (January 11, 1858 in New York City – June 20, 1942) was an American Entomology, entomologist who became known for his major contribution to the knowledge and description of new species of the Neotropical realm, Neotropical Lepidoptera. Life William Schaus, Jr. was son of Wilhelm, later William Schaus, Sr. (1820–1892), a Germany, German-immigrant art collector and dealer, proprietor of the Schaus Galleries in New York City, and of Margaret Connover. He was educated initially at Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter Academy and then in France and Germany, and was influenced early in his career by Henry Edwards (entomologist), Henry Edwards, although he also studied languages, art and music. Schaus received the honorary degree of Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Wisconsin in 1921, and in 1925 that of honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Pittsburgh. He decided, despite parental opposition, and at the sacrifice of a prom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.
