Prothysana Terminalis
''Prothysana terminalis'' is a moth in the family Apatelodidae whose larvae are known as shag-carpet caterpillars. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1865. It is found in South America. Taxonomy Vitor Osmar Becker included ''Compsa saturata'' and ''Mimallo trilunula'' as synonyms of ''Prothysana terminalis'' in 2001, but excluded ''Prothysana felderi'' from this synonymy, retaining it as a separate species.Becker, V.O. (2001). "The identity of some unrecognized Neotropical Bombycoidea (Lepidoptera) described by Francis Walker". ''Revista Brasileira de Zoologia''. 18: 153-157. As of Kitching 2018, genus '' Prothysana'' is placed in family Apatelodidae. Biology Recorded food plants for the two species of ''Prothysana'' (which cannot be distinguished from one another) include '' Philodendron'', ''Heliconia'', '' Welfia georgii'', '' Chamaedora tepejilote'', '' Piptocarpha poeppigiana'', ''Pentaclethra macroloba ''Pentaclethra macroloba'' is a large and common ...

Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which ...

Moths Described In 1865
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.

Lycianthes Synanthera
''Lycianthes'' is a genus of plants from the nightshade family (Solanaceae), found in both the Old World and the New World, but predominantly in the latter. It contains roughly 150 species, mostly from tropical America, with 35-40 species in Asia and the Pacific. Characteristics ''Lycianthes'' is apparently closely related to the chili and bell peppers (''Capsicum''). However, it was long confused with the nightshades (''Solanum''), and several little-known ''Solanum'' species presumably belong here.Solanaceae Source: A global taxonomic resource for the nightshade family Retrieved 25 June 2015.
