''Imma auxobathra'' is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found on Borneo and in Nepal. The wingspan is 15–16 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous in males and blackish in females, with the markings ochreous orange. There is a subcostal streak from near the base to one-fourth and an oblique streak from beneath middle of this to one-third of the dorsum. An oblique series of three small spots is found beyond these, the middle one dash like, a larger subtriangular spot on the middle of the costa, in females a pear-shaped blotch extending almost from the apex of this to near the dorsum at three-fourths, bilobed beneath, in males reduced to two dots representing the extremities. In females a moderate spot in the disc beyond this, in males dot like. There is a curved series of about ten longitudinal marks from beneath the costa at two-thirds to above the tornus, in males reduced and ill defined. The hindwings are blackish fuscous ...

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] |
