Xylophanes Porioni

	Xylophanes Porioni ''Xylophanes porioni'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from Peru. The length of the forewings is 39–40 mm. It is distinguishable from all other '' Xylophanes'' species by the combination of the broad, compact shape of the wings, the suffused brown pattern of the forewing upperside and the arrangement of spots forming the median band of the hindwing upperside. The ground colour of the upperside of the body and forewings is reddish brown. The forewing upperside is similar in general appearance to that of '' Xylophanes rufescens'', but the pattern of lines and spots is more contrasting. The first postmedian line is diffuse, running to the costa rather than the apex. The second and third postmedian lines are weakly developed, also running to the costa and below the fourth postmedian line it is replaced by vein dots, or it is represented only by a row of vein dots. The median band of the hindwing upperside consists of a series of off-white triangular spots t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	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.

picture info	Sphingidae The Sphingidae are a family of moths (Lepidoptera) called sphinx moths, also colloquially known as hawk moths, with many of their caterpillars known as “hornworms”; it includes about 1,450 species. It is best represented in the tropics, but species are found in every region.Scoble, Malcolm J. (1995): ''The Lepidoptera: Form, Function and Diversity'' (2nd edition). Oxford University Press & Natural History Museum London. They are moderate to large in size and are distinguished among moths for their agile and sustained flying ability, similar enough to that of hummingbirds as to be reliably mistaken for them. Their narrow wings and streamlined abdomens are adaptations for rapid flight. The family was named by French zoologist Pierre André Latreille in 1802. Some hawk moths, such as the hummingbird hawk-moth or the white-lined sphinx, hover in midair while they feed on nectar from flowers, so are sometimes mistaken for hummingbirds. This hovering capability is only known to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
