Spialia Carnea
''Spialia'' is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, which are mainly found in Africa and Asia. They are commonly called grizzled skippers or sandmen. As a result of genomic research published in 2020, 3 species of ''Spialia'' were moved to the new genus ''Agyllia'' and 14 species were moved to the new genus ''Ernsta''. Species These species belong to the genus ''Spialia'': * ''Spialia ali'' Oberthür, 1881 * ''Spialia carnea'' (Reverdin, 1927) * '' Spialia diomus'' (Hopffer, 1855) (common sandman) * ''Spialia doris'' (Walker, 1870) (desert grizzled skipper) * ''Spialia ferax'' (Wallengren, 1863) (ferax grizzled skipper) * ''Spialia fetida'' Zhdanko, 1992 * ''Spialia galba'' (Fabricius, 1793) (indian skipper) * '' Spialia geron'' (Watson, 1893) * ''Spialia irida'' Zhdanko, 1993 * ''Spialia lugens'' (Staudinger, 1886) * '' Spialia mafa'' (Trimen, 1870) (mafa sandman) * ''Spialia orbifer'' (Hübner, 1823) (orbed red-underwing skipper) * ''Spialia osthelderi'' (Pfeiffer, 1 ...

Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (, ) is a protected area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Ngorongoro District, west of Arusha City in Arusha Region, within the Crater Highlands geological area of northern Tanzania. The area is named after Ngorongoro Crater, a large volcanic caldera within the area. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority administers the conservation area, an arm of the Tanzanian government, and its boundaries follow the boundary of the Ngorongoro District in Arusha Region. The western portion of the park abuts the Serengeti National Park (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the area comprising the two parks and Kenya's Maasai Mara game reserve is home to Great Migration, a massive annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other animals. The conservation area also contains Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. The 2009 Ngorongoro Wildlife Conservation Act placed new restri ...

Consortium For The Barcode Of Life
The Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) was an international initiative dedicated to supporting the development of DNA barcoding as a global standard for species identification. CBOL's Secretariat Office is hosted by the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. Barcoding was proposed in 2003 by Prof. Paul Hebert of the University of Guelph in Ontario as a way of distinguishing and identifying species with a short standardized gene sequence. Hebert proposed the 658 bases of the Folmer region of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome-C oxidase-1 as the standard barcode region. Hebert is the Director of the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, and the International Barcode of Life Project (iBOL), all headquartered at the University of Guelph. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) is also located at the University of Guelph. CBOL was created in May 2004 with support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, f ...

Spialia Sertorius
''Spialia sertorius'', the red-underwing skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. Description The red-underwing skipper can be confused with the species of the genus ''Pyrgus''. The underside has a cinnamon-red to yellowish base tone, while in the ''Pyrgus'' species it is mostly greenish to brownish in color. Since this coloring is less clear in older butterflies (and deviations occur), the characteristic arrangement of the spots on the underside of the hind wing should always be used for the determination. Furthermore, on the upper side of the forewing, a series of small, distinctly bright spots in the submarginal bandage is characteristic, which runs in a regular flat curve to the front edge. The four spots of the post-discal region further towards the wing base are also in a row, while in the species of the genus ''Pyrgus,'' only three are side by side and the fourth is disengaged. The wingspan is 22-26 mm. (MHNT) Spialia sertorius - Bossey, Haute-Savoie, France - ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
