Faculta Inaequalis
''Faculta inaequalis'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Mexico and the United States, where it has been recorded from California, Arizona and New Mexico. 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 of ... is about 13 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish speckled grey, more thinly on the basal third and with a small blackish dot beneath the costa near the base, and one raised beyond it in the disc. There is a hardly oblique narrow black fascia from the costa at one-third not reaching the dorsum, a faint rosy tinge beneath its extremity. The discal stigmata are very small, black, the second placed on the inner edge of a narrow transverse fascia of which the costal third is black, the discal is whitish, the dorsal rosy-ochreous and there is some ...

Faculta Synthetica
''Faculta synthetica'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Mexico (Sonora). 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 of ... is 11–12 mm. The forewings are blackish with a slight purplish tinge and minute hoary speckling, except where black spots, each accompanied by some brownish ochreous scales, are distinguishable from the less intensely dark wing-surface. Of these spots, the first is on the costa at one-fourth, placed rather obliquely, with a narrow ochreous subcostal line reaching from the base. Another lies nearer to the base on the upper edge of the fold and a third with some ochreous scales preceding and following it, lies in the fold before half of the wing length, and this is almost connected with a discal spot above it. Another tri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Faculta Triangulella
''Faculta triangulella'' is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California and Arizona. 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 of ... is 12–13 mm. The forewings are light fuscous, heavily overlaid with dark fuscous scales, and with a roseate tinge. On the middle of the cell is a blackish triangular spot with one point touching the fold and preceded basally by a few ochreous scales. There is also a similar blackish triangular spot at the end of the cell and the edges of both spots are faintly continued to the costal edge. The apical third of the wing is heavily overlaid with blackish scales. The hindwings are light silvery fuscous. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
August Busck
Augustus Busck (February 18, 1870 – March 7, 1944) was a Danish-American entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology. He is best known for his work with microlepidoptera, of which he described over 600 species. His collections of Lepidoptera from North America and the Panama Canal Zone are held by the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Publications Busck authored and co-authored over 150 papers, among them: * 1902: A list of the North American Lepidoptera and key to the literature of this order of insects. Harrison Gray Dyar Jr.; assisted by Charles H. Fernald, Ph.D., the late Rev. George Duryea Hulst George Duryea Hulst (9 March 1846 – 5 November 1900) was an American clergyman, botanist and entomologist. Biography He graduated from Rutgers University in 1866 and received a degree from New Brunswick Theological Seminary in 1869, finally ..., and August Busck. ''Bulletin of the United States Nat ...

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.

Gelechiidae
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (''Pseudotsuga'') is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus ''Chionodes'', which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea. By the late 20th century, over 900 genera with altogether more than 4,500 species were placed here, with about 650 genera known from North America alone. While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in this import ...
