Sabatinca Weheka
''Sabatinca'' is a genus of small primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae. ''Palaeomicra'' and ''Micropardalis'' were both established as subgenera of ''Sabatinca'', but were both raised to generic level by Joël Minet in 1985. However, in 2014 both these genera, ''Palaeomicra'' and ''Micropardalis,'' were recognised by George Gibbs (entomologist), George Gibbs as synonyms of ''Sabatinca.'' Extinct species in this genus are known from the Cretaceous Burmese amber.

Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabatinca Caustica
''Sabatinca caustica'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1912. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in both Southland and at Stewart Island / Rakiura. The adults of this species are variable in appearance with some specimens being mainly white on their forewings while others have forewings that are a more mottled purple-brown colour. Adults are on the wing from the start of October until the middle of December. Larvae feed on the surface of leafy liverworts. Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1912 using specimens collected in October at Seaward Moss, Invercargill by Alfred Philpott. The lectotype specimen, designated by J. S. Dugdale in 1988, is held at the Natural History Museum, London. In 2014 George Gibbs synonymised ''S. barbarica'' with ''S. caustica'' arguing that ''S. caustica'' is extremely variable in appearance and that the morphological and molecular evidence does not ...

Sabatinca Quadrijuga
''Sabatinca quadrijuga'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae. This species is Endemism, endemic to New Zealand and is found in the Dunedin, Dunedin area and in Southland, New Zealand, Southland. The range of ''S. quadrijuga'' overlaps with the range of ''Sabatinca caustica, S. caustica.'' ''S. quadrijuga'' was first scientifically described by Edward Meyrick in 1912. As a result of its predominantly black forewings this species looks similar to a small caddisfly. The adults of this species are on the wing from September to November. Larvae feed on leafy liverwort species and the adults likely feed on fern spores or sedge pollen. The species prefers to live in well lit but damp mossy habitats. The nearest relative of ''S. quadrijuga'' is ''Sabatinca aurantissima, S. aurantissima.'' Taxonomy This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1912 using a specimen collected by Alfred Philpott in Invercargill. In 1928 George Hudson (entomologist), George ...
