Sesiidae
The Sesiidae or clearwing moths are a diurnal moth family in the order Lepidoptera known for their Batesian mimicry in both appearance and behaviour of various Hymenoptera. The family consists of 165 genera spread over two subfamilies, containing in total 1525 species and 49 subspecies, most of which occur in the tropics, though there are many species in the Holarctic region as well, including over a hundred species known to occur in Europe. Morphology Sesiidae are characterized by their hymenopteriform Batesian mimicry, frequently of identifiable species. Most species of Sesiidae have wings with areas where scales are nearly completely absent, resulting in partial, marked transparency. Forewings are commonly elongated and narrow in the basal half. In many species, the abdomen is elongated, with an anal tuft, and striped or ringed yellow, red or white, sometimes very brightly so. Legs are long, thin and frequently coloured, and in some species the hind-legs are elongated. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He wrote three volumes on Lepidoptera in the '' Encyclopedie Entomologique'' (Lechevalier Paris 1926, 1927 and 1929) and many scientific papers in the ''Bulletin of the Société entomologique de France The Société entomologique de France, or French Entomological Society, is devoted to the study of insects.
