Phaeosaces Coarctatella
''Phaeosaces coarctatella'' is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is Endemism, endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the country. The preferred habitat of this species is native forest however they can also be found in domestic gardens. Larvae shelter in hollow twigs or under bark and emerge at night to browse on lichens. They pupate within their shelter. Adults are on the wing from September to January and are variable in their appearance. They vary both in colour, from reddish brown to a greenish yellow shade, and also in the extent of the black marking on their forewings. They are nocturnal and are attracted to light. Taxonomy This species was first described by Francis Walker (entomologist), Francis Walker using specimens collected in Nelson, New Zealand, Nelson by T. R. Oxley and named ''Cryptolechia coarctatella''. In 1988 J. S. Dugdale placed this species in the genus ''Phaeosaces'' and at the same time synonymised ''Phaeosaces liochroa'' with t ...

Phaeosaces Lindsayae
''Phaeosaces lindsayae'' is a species of moth in the family Depressariidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "Data Deficient" by the Department of Conservation. Taxonomy This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1928 using specimens collected by Jean Lindsay at "Blackmillar" (Black Miller Stream), Kaikōura and named ''Crytopechia lindsayae.'' George Hudson discussed and illustrated the species under this name in 1939. In 1988 John S. Dugdale reinstated the genus ''Phaeosaces'' and assigned ''P. lindsayae'' to it. This species was named in honour of its first collector Mrs Jean Lindsay. The holotype specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum. Description Philpott described the species as follows: Distribution This species is endemic to New Zealand. It has only been collected at its type locality. Biology and behaviour This species is on the wing in December. Conservation status This species has been classified as having the "Data Deficient" ...

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.

New Zealand
New Zealand ( mi, Aotearoa ) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island () and the South Island ()—and over 700 smaller islands. It is the sixth-largest island country by area, covering . New Zealand is about east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. The country's varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland. The islands of New Zealand were the last large habitable land to be settled by humans. Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and then developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight and record New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the United Kingdom and Māori chiefs ...
