Hypertropha Chlaenota
''Hypertropha chlaenota'' is a species of moth of the family Depressariidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are rather dark shining fuscous, with coppery reflections and with a large whitish-ochreous basal patch, extending on the costa to the middle, on the inner margin to two-fifths, its outer edge nearly straight, on the costa marked with four direct cloudy blackish strigulae. There is a small whitish-ochreous irregularly triangular spot on the inner margin before the anal angle, containing a dot of ground colour. The space between this and the basal patch is thickly strewn with small bluish-leaden metallic spots, and there is a curved broken dentate whitish-ochreous line from four-fifths of the costa to the anal angle, preceded by an irregular series of bluish- ...

Hypertropha Desumptana
''Hypertropha desumptana'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863. It is found in Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a Sovereign state, sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australia (continent), Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous List of islands of Australia, sma ..., where it has been recorded from Queensland. Adults are cupreous black, the forewings hardly acute, yellowish cinereous towards the base, and with some yellowish-cinereous exterior speckles. There are some transverse irregular interrupted metallic blue and purple lines, as well as an oblique costal subapical yellowish-cinereous streak. The marginal line is dark fawn colour and irregular. The hindwings are luteous, with a broad cupreous-black border. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypertropha Thesaurella
''Hypertropha thesaurella'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1880. It is found in Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a Sovereign state, sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australia (continent), Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous List of islands of Australia, sma ..., where it has been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales. The wingspan is 19–20 mm. The forewings are black, the basal half almost entirely occupied by four transverse, rather outwardly curved, almost confluent faint ochreous-whitish bands, composed of numerous very fine transverse strigulae, these bands being very obscurely separated by slender black lines, only distinct as black spots on the costa, where also the pale bands are usually more distinct. There is a small ochreous-whitish spot on the costa in the middle, giving rise to an indistinct orange-ochreous transverse line ...

Hypertropha Tortriciformis
''Hypertropha tortriciformis'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval and Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Tasmania, the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are brown with a pale speckled crossline across, and several dark spots and patches. The hindwings are bright yellow with black margins. The larvae feed on new shoots of ''Angophora ''Angophora'' is a genus of nine species of trees and shrubs in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae.

Edward Meyrick
Edward Meyrick (25 November 1854, in Ramsbury – 31 March 1938, at Thornhanger, Marlborough) was an English schoolmaster and amateur entomologist. He was an expert on microlepidoptera and some consider him one of the founders of modern microlepidoptera systematics. Life and work Edward Meyrick came from a Welsh clerical family and was born in Ramsbury on the Kennet to a namesake father. He was educated at Marlborough College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He actively pursued his hobby during his schooling, and one colleague stated in 1872 that Meyrick "has not left a lamp, a paling, or a tree unexamined in which a moth could possibly, at any stage of its existence, lie hid." Meyrick began publishing notes on microlepidopterans in 1875, but when in December, 1877 he gained a post at The King's School, Parramatta, New South Wales, there were greater opportunities for indulging his interest. He stayed in Australia for ten years (from 1877 until the end of 1886) working at Syd ... [...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.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...
