Trycherodes Albifrons
''Trycherodes albifrons'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala and Panama. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is 15–20 mm. The forewings are reddish fawn-grey, sparsely sprinkled with tawny fuscous scales on the outer third, tending to run parallel with the termen. With two tawny fuscous dots, one on the middle of the cell, the other at its outer extremity. There is a small group of raised tawny fuscous scales before the middle of the costa and two on the fold, one before, and one beyond its middle, with a small patch of slightly raised scales on the flexus. The hindwings are reddish grey, darker at the apex. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trycherodes Chilibrella
''Trycherodes chilibrella'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1914. It is found in Panama. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, slightly and irregularly overlaid with single, dark-brown scales and with the costal edge and the veins somewhat deeper ochreous. The brown scales form two faint and ill-defined, outwardly curved lines across the wing, one submarginal and one parallel therewith on the middle of the veins. There is also an irregular aggregation of dark scales on the middle of the cell, tending downward to the dorsal edge. On the middle of the costa is a small group of dark-brown scales and at the end of the cell is a similar dark-brown spot. The hind ...

Trycherodes Producta
''Trycherodes producta'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Guatemala. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of ... is about 20 mm. The forewings are pale fawn ochreous, tinged with flesh colour, with a sprinkling of greyish fuscous scales, grouped in a reduplicated curved series commencing at the middle of the costa and terminating in a somewhat darker group on the dorsum before the tornus. A single small fuscous spot lies on the cell at one-third from the base. The hindwings are whitish ochreous. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

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 ...

Depressariidae
Depressariidae is a family of moths. It has formerly been treated as a subfamily of Gelechiidae, but is now recognised as a separate family, comprising about 2,300 species worldwide.Heikkilä, M. ''et al''. 2014: Morphology reinforces proposed molecular phylogenetic affinities: a revised classification for Gelechioidea (Lepidoptera). ''Cladistics'', 30(6): 563-589. Subfamilies Depressariidae consists of ten subfamilies: * Acriinae * Aeolanthinae * Cryptolechiinae * Depressariinae * Ethmiinae * Hypercalliinae * Hypertrophinae * Oditinae * Peleopodinae The Peleopodinae are a subfamily of small moths in the family Depressariidae.
