Ischnodoris Sigalota
''Ischnodoris sigalota'' is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1911. It is found in Sri Lanka Sri Lanka (, ; si, ශ්රී ලංකා, Śrī Laṅkā, translit-std=ISO (); ta, இலங்கை, Ilaṅkai, translit-std=ISO ()), formerly known as Ceylon and officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an .... The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are pale whitish ochreous closely irrorated (sprinkled) with brownish. The stigmata are rather large and black, the plical smaller, slightly beyond the first discal. There is a spot of blackish suffusion on the dorsum slightly before the second discal and row of cloudy blackish dots or groups of scales close before the margin around the termen and posterior part of the costa. The hindwings are grey. References Moths described in 1911 Autostichinae {{Autostichinae-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ischnodoris Chlorosperma

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are fuscous mixed darker with a pale ochreous median basal dot. The stigmata form small suffused darker spots, the plical slightly before the first discal.

Autostichinae
__NOTOC__ The Autostichinae are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. The present lineage was often included in the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), but alternatively it is united with the Symmocidae '' sensu stricto'' (and often also the Holcopogonidae and/or certain genera otherwise considered twirler moths, e.g. '' Deoclona'' and '' Syringopais'') to form an expanded family Autostichidae (in the past also referred to as family Symmocidae). Selected genera Genera in this subfamily are:ABRS (2008), Wikispecies (2011-OCT-17) * '' Anaptilora'' Meyrick, 1904 * '' Autosticha'' Meyrick, 1886 (including ''Epicoenia, Semnolocha'') * '' Demiophila'' Meyrick, 1906 * '' Deroxena'' Meyrick, 1913 * '' Diophila'' Meyrick, 1937 * '' Encrasima'' Meyrick, 1916 * '' Galagete'' B.Landry, 2002 * '' Heliangara'' Meyrick, 1906 * '' Ischnodoris'' Meyrick, 1911 * '' Lasiodictis'' Meyrick, ...

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 ...
