Embrik Strand
Embrik Strand (2 June 1876 – 3 November 1947) was an entomologist and arachnologist who classified many insect and spider species including the greenbottle blue tarantula. Life and career Strand was born in Ål, Norway. He studied at the University of Kristiania (now University of Oslo). Around 1900 he focused on collecting insect specimens from Norway. These are now deposited at the university's museum, where he worked as a curator from 1901 to 1903. After studying at the University of Oslo Strand traveled in Norway from 1898 to 1903 collecting a great number of insects. For part of this time (1901–1903) he was a conservator in the museum of zoology of the university. He then left for Germany where he continued his studies of zoology at the University of Marburg (1903), then he worked with State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (1905) and, later, that of Tübingen and then with Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. From 1907, he worked with Natural History Museum, Ber ... [...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. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

Arctiinae (moth)
The Arctiinae (formerly called the family Arctiidae) are a large and diverse subfamily of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species.Scoble, MJ. (1995). ''The Lepidoptera: Form, Function and Diversity''. Second ed. Oxford University Press. This subfamily includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers), which usually have bright colours, footmen, which are usually much drabber, lichen moths, and wasp moths. Many species have "hairy" caterpillars that are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name Arctiinae refers to this hairiness (Gk. αρκτος = a bear). Some species within the Arctiinae have the word "tussock"' in their common names because they have been misidentified as members of the Lymantriinae subfamily based on the characteristics of the larvae. Taxonomy The subfamily was previously classified as the family Arctiidae of the superfamily Noctuoidea and is a monophyletic group. ...

''Eilema'' is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Taxonomy After a 2011 revision, all the species but one, ''E. caniola'', have been moved to other genera. The genera formerly included in ''Eilema'' are: * '' Asiapistosia'' Dubatolov & Kishida, 2012 * ''Capissa'' Moore, 1878 * ''Collita'' Moore, 1878 * ''Dolgoma'' Moore, 1878 * '' Gandhara'' Moore, 1878 * '' Katha'' Moore, 1878 * '' Manulea'' Wallengren, 1863 * '' Muscula'' Koçak, 1991 * '' Prabhasa'' Moore, 1878 * '' Tarika'' Moore, 1878 * '' Wittia'' de Freina, 1980 * '' Zadadra'' Moore, 1878 * '' Zobida'' Birket-Smith, 1965 Species * '' Eilema caniola'' Hübner, 1808 ''Eilema'' species *'' Eilema aistleitneri'' *'' Eilema albescens'' *'' Eilema albicosta'' *'' Eilema albidella'' *'' Eilema albidula'' *'' Eilema albostriatum'' *'' Eilema aldabrensis'' *'' Eilema alluaudi'' *'' Eilema amaura'' *'' Eilema amaurus'' *'' Eilema angustipennis'' *'' Eilema angustula'' *'' E ...
