Trigonospila
''Trigonospila'' is a small genus of parasitic flies in the family Tachinidae. Distribution The genus has a worldwide distribution, but is particularly common in Australia. In Australia, ''T. brevifacies'' and ''T. cingulata'' are common within their respective ranges and can often be found resting on vegetation. They have been reported in some environments to be the most common conspicuous fly species. In Australia, ''Trigonospila'' have been collected in all mainland states and territories, Tasmania, and some large offshore islands including Kangaroo Island in South Australia, and Brampton Island in Queensland. Identification ''Trigonospila'' are strikingly patterned flies; primarily black with pearly whitish to golden transverse bars on the thorax and abdomen. There are two whitish bars on the thorax; one adjacent to the transverse suture, and the second adjacent to the scutellum. There may also be a white triangle on the tip of the scutellum, and the subscutellum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trigonospila Brevifacies
''Trigonospila brevifacies'' is a species of true fly in the family Tachinidae native to eastern Australia. This species is also found in New Zealand. Like the vast majority of tachinid flies, ''T. brevifacies'' is a parasitoid of other insects, specifically late larval stages of a number of species of Lepidoptera. It is also known as the Australian Leaf-Roller Fly or Leafroller Fly. Distribution ''Trigonospila brevifacies'' is native to the eastern states of Australia and has been collected from Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria, and southern Queensland. ''T. brevifacies'' is also present in New Zealand as it was introduced to control a number of agricultural pests.Green OR (1984) New Zealand host and locality records for an introduced tortricid parasite, ''Trigonospila brevifacies'' (Diptera: Tachinidae).

Trigonospila Cingulata
''Trigonospila cingulata'' is a species of fly in the family Tachinidae. Identification Like other members of the genus, it is distinctive for its striking colouration. The species is primarily black with two silvery transverse bars on the thorax and three silvery transverse bars on the abdomen. The silvery transverse bars on the abdomen are narrow, never reaching the discal setae. Antennae are inserted at two-thirds eye Eyes are organs of the visual system. They provide living organisms with vision, the ability to receive and process visual detail, as well as enabling several photo response functions that are independent of vision. Eyes detect light and conv ... depth, and reach a little way beyond half the distance to the oral margin Hardy GH (1934) Notes on Australian Muscoidea (Calyptrata).

Light Brown Apple Moth
The light brown apple moth (''Epiphyas postvittana'') (often abbreviated to LBAM) is a leafroller moth belonging to the lepidopteran family Tortricidae. Identification Adult moths Light brown apple moth adults are variable in colour and may be confused with other leafroller moths and similar species. DNA analysis is currently required to positively identify the species which are otherwise indistinguishable on gross characteristics from other moths of similar species. Typical males have a forewing length of 6–10 millimetre, mm with a light brown area at the base, which is distinguishable from a much darker, red-brown area at the tip. The latter may be absent, with the moth appearing uniformly light brown, as in the females, which have only slightly darker oblique markings distinguishing the area at the tip of the wing. Females have a forewing length of 7–13 mm. File:Epiphyas postvittana female dorsal.jpg, Female, dorsal view File:Epiphyas postvittana female ventra ...

Joseph Villeneuve De Janti
Joseph Théodore Villeneuve de Janti (21 June 1868 – 7 June 1944) Was a French entomologist. He specialised in '' Diptera''. He worked in Paris at the Pasteur Institute and at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. As well as naming many new taxa Villeneuve made significant contributions to medical entomology. He was a Member of the Société Entomologique de France The Société entomologique de France, or French Entomological Society, is devoted to the study of insects.

Paropsis
''Paropsis'' is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. They primarily feed on ''Eucalyptus'' but there are a few that feed on ''Baeckea'', ''Kunzea'' and ''Leptospermum ''Leptospermum'' is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the myrtle family Myrtaceae commonly known as tea trees, although this name is sometimes also used for some species of ''Melaleuca''.

Chrysomelidae
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, ...

Gelechiidae
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (''Pseudotsuga'') is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus ''Chionodes'', which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea. By the late 20th century, over 900 genera with altogether more than 4,500 species were placed here, with about 650 genera known from North America alone. While these figures are certainly outdated, due to the many revisions to superfamily Gelechioidea and new descriptions of twirler moths, they still serve to show the enormous biodiversity contained in this import ...

Phthorimaea Operculella
''Phthorimaea operculella'', also known as the potato tuber moth or tobacco splitworm, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is an oligophagous insect that feeds on the plant family Solanaceae and is especially known for being a major pest of potato crops. Currently farmers utilize insecticides, parasites, and sprinkler irrigation in order to prevent ''P. operculella'' from infesting their croplands. The potato tuber moth also has a rare oviposition process where the ovipositor contains sensors that pick up on chemical signals given off by the host plant. Therefore, the adult female moth only needs to be within the vicinity of a host plant to lay her eggs. Description The potato tuber moth has a body length of about 10mm and a wingspan of about 12mm. Adult moths have a narrow, light brown body with grayish-brown wings containing a variety of small dark spots. The moth contains two sets of wings, both having frayed edges. Females are distinguished from males by having a black ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
