Sthenopis Auratus
''Sthenopis pretiosus'', the gold-spotted ghost moth, is a species of moth of the family Hepialidae. It was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1856. It can be found in found Brazil, Venezuela and in the eastern United States and south-eastern Canada. Naming history ''Sthenopis pretiosus'' was independently discovered, named and described at least three times: #It was first found in Brasil and described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1856 who called it ''Epialus pretiosus''. The type specimen of ''E. pretiosus'' has not been located. #It was also found in the north-eastern United States and south-eastern Canada and described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878, who called it ''Hepialus auratus'' which become ''Sthenopis auratus''. #It was also found in Venezuela and described by Rudolf Pfitzner in 1906, who called it ''Phassus eldorado''. Later Pfitzner published an illustration of ''Phassus eldorado''. The holotype of ''P. eldorado'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sthenopis Purpurascens
''Sthenopis purpurascens'', the four-spotted ghost moth, is a species of moth of the family Hepialidae. It was described by Packard in 1863. It is found in Canada and the United States, from Labrador and New York north and west to British Columbia and the Northwest Territories, south in the mountains to Arizona. The wingspan is 66–100 mm. There are two color forms, a purple-grey and a yellow-brown form. The latter was previously thought to be a separate species, ''Sthenopis quadriguttatus''. The forewings have a darker oblique median band, a darker terminal area and darker spots along the costa. There are two small, silver spots near the wing base. The hindwings are purple brown or salmon pink and generally unmarked. The larvae feed on ''Populus'', ''Salix'' and ''Alnus Alders are trees comprising the genus ''Alnus'' in the birch family Betulaceae. The genus comprises about 35 species of monoecious trees and shrubs, a few reaching a large size, distributed through ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sthenopis Argenteomaculatus
''Sthenopis argenteomaculatus'', the silver-spotted ghost moth, is a species of moth of the family Hepialidae. It was described by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841, and is known in North America from Nova Scotia to North Carolina and west to Minnesota. The wingspan is about . The forewings are gray to tan, crossed by irregular dark bands. Adults are on wing from June to August. The wing venation was described as primitive by John Henry Comstock in that the costa of both fore and hind wing retain the primitive 4 branches while in most other Lepidoptera the hind wing costa are fused into one vein. Comstock often used this silver-spotted ghost moth in his publications on Lepidopteran wings and their venation with at least one case of it being reproduced on his title page (e.g. Frontice). The figures of the Hepialid moths and their wing venation illustrating the Comstock publications on wings were from his sometimes co-author Anna Botsford Comstock. Food plants for this species ...

Hepialidae
The Hepialidae are a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. Moths of this family are often referred to as swift moths or ghost moths. Taxonomy and systematics The Hepialidae constitute by far the most diverse group of the infraorder Exoporia. The 60 genera contain at least 587 currently recognised species of these primitive moths worldwide. The genera ''Fraus'' (endemic to Australia), ''Gazoryctra'' (Holarctic), ''Afrotheora'' (Southern African), and ''Antihepialus'' (African) are considered to be the most primitive, containing four genera and about 51 species with a mostly relictual southern Gondwanan distribution and are currently separated from the Hepialidae ''sensu stricto'' which might form a natural, derived group.Nielsen, E.S., Robinson, G.S. and Wagner, D.L. 2000.

Matteuccia
''Matteuccia'' is a genus of ferns with one species: ''Matteuccia struthiopteris'' ( common names ostrich fern, fiddlehead fern, or shuttlecock fern). The species epithet ''struthiopteris'' comes from Ancient Greek words () "ostrich" and () "fern". Description The fronds are dimorphic, with the deciduous green sterile fronds being almost vertical, tall and broad, long-tapering to the base but short-tapering to the tip, so that they resemble ostrich plumes, hence the name. The fertile fronds are shorter, long, brown when ripe, with highly modified and constricted leaf tissue curled over the sporangia; they develop in autumn, persist erect over the winter and release the spores in early spring. Along with ''Dryopteris goldieana'', it is one of the largest species of fern in eastern North America. Classification ''Matteuccia struthiopteris'' is the only species in the genus ''Matteuccia''. Some sources include two Asian species, ''M. orientalis'' and ''M. intermedia'', but mol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
