Herculia (moth)
''Herculia'' is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus is mostly treated as a synonym of '' Hypsopygia''. If considered valid, some species previously placed here are now in ''Dolichomia'' and '' Ocrasa'', which in turn are also mostly merged in ''Hypsopygia''. '' O. fulvocilialis'' is sometimes still placed in the present genus. Species Species In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity.

Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which beg ...

Herculia Nigrivitta
''Hypsopygia nigrivitta'' is a species of snout moth in the genus ''Hypsopygia''. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863. It is found in Australia and south-east Asia, including Borneo, Sulawesi Sulawesi (), also known as Celebes (), is an island in Indonesia. One of the four Greater Sunda Islands, and the world's eleventh-largest island, it is situated east of Borneo, west of the Maluku Islands, and south of Mindanao and the Sulu Ar ..., Java and Malaysia. The larvae are considered a nuisance since they have the habit of spinning a silken burrow beneath and between two pieces of thatch to which it retreats when not feeding. Usually each thatch strip is occupied by a single larva. As the infested thatch deteriorates with much damage from feeding, a new piece of thatch has to be inserted from time to time.

Ocrasa
''Ocrasa'' is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. The genus is mostly treated as a synonym of ''Hypsopygia''. If considered valid, the genus includes many species which were formerly included in '' Herculia''.See references in Savela (2009) In addition, the proposed genus ''Orthopygia'', which some authors consider a separate (and sometimes monotypic) lineage is here merged with ''Ocrasa''. The latter two genera are also mostly merged with ''Hypsopygia'' however.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of 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 produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, 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 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 specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ...

Dolichomia
''Dolichomia'' is a genus of Pyralidae, snout moths in the subfamily Phycitinae. It was described by Émile Louis Ragonot in 1891.
