Areas Galactina
''Areas galactina'' is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Jan van der Hoeven in 1840. It is found in China (Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hubei), Taiwan, the north-western Himalayas, India ( Sikkim, Assam, Andamans), Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Indochina, the Philippines, Indonesia and Sundaland Sundaland (also called Sundaica or the Sundaic region) is a biogeographical region of South-eastern Asia corresponding to a larger landmass that was exposed throughout the last 2.6 million years during periods when sea levels were lower. It .... The length of the forewings is 32–35 mm for males and 40–42 mm for females.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below 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 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 of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Arctiinae (erebid Moths)
The Arctiinae (formerly called the family Arctiidae) are a large and diverse subfamily of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species.Scoble, MJ. (1995). ''The Lepidoptera: Form, Function and Diversity''. Second ed. Oxford University Press. This subfamily includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers), which usually have bright colours, footmen, which are usually much drabber, lichen moths, and wasp moths. Many species have "hairy" caterpillars that are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name Arctiinae refers to this hairiness (Gk. αρκτος = a bear). Some species within the Arctiinae have the word "tussock"' in their common names because they have been misidentified as members of the Lymantriinae subfamily based on the characteristics of the larvae. Taxonomy The subfamily was previously classified as the family Arctiidae of the superfamily Noctuoidea and is a monophyletic group. ...

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings (''Catocala''); litter moths ( Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths ( Arctiinae); tussock moths ( Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth ('' Gynaephora groenlandica''); piercing moths (Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths ( Micronoctuini); snout moths ( Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (> wingspan in the black witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adults spans the full range of dull, drab, and camouflaged (e.g., '' Zale lunifera'' and litter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Areas Imperialis
''Areas imperialis'' is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Vincenz Kollar Vincenz Kollar (15 January 1797 in Kranowitz, Silesia – 30 May 1860 in Vienna) was an Austrian entomologist who specialised in Diptera. He was especially concerned with species of economic interest, particularly those of forests. Kollar describe ... in 1844. It is found in Tibet, the north-western Himalayas, Sikkim and Nepal.

Hoeven
Hoeven is a village in the municipality of Halderberge in the Netherlands. The name Hoeven originated from the purchase of a certain amount of ground in 1282 by the abbey of Cistercians of St. Bernard. This amount was equal to 100 "hoeven", a local measure of area in those days. A hoeve is approximately 12 bunder. A "bunder" equals the area of the average agricultural farm in the Netherlands. Municipality of Hoeven Hoeven was a separate municipality until 1997 including the three villages of Bosschenhoofd, Hoeven and Kruisstraat. In 1997 the municipality of Hoeven became a part of Halderberge. Different names Though the village officially is named Hoeven, most civilians use and pronounce it as "Oeve" or "d'Oeve" as 'Hoeven' is pronounced in the local dialect, Brabants. Remarkable in the southern parts of the Netherlands, where they officially celebrate carnival, is that during this period all places change names during this seven-day celebration. In case of Hoeven it i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spilosomina
The Spilosomina are a subtribe of tiger moths in the tribe Arctiini, which is part of the family Erebidae. Taxonomy The subtribe was previously classified as the tribe Spilosomini of the family Arctiidae. Genera The following genera are included in the subtribe. Numerous arctiine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, so this genus list may be incomplete. *''Aethalida'' *'' Acantharctia'' *''Afraloa'' *''Afroarctia'' *''Afrojavanica'' *''Afromurzinia'' *''Afrospilarctia'' *''Afrowatsonius'' *''Alexicles'' *'' Allanwatsonia'' *''Alpenus'' *'' Aloa'' *'' Alphaea'' with two subgenera: '' Flavalphaea'' and '' Nayaca'' *'' Amsacta'' *'' Amsactarctia'' *'' Amsactoides'' *''Andala'' *'' Arachnis'' *''Ardices'' with a subgenus '' Australemyra'' *'' Areas'' with a subgenus '' Melanareas'' *''Argyarctia'' with a subgenus '' Fangalphaea'' *''Binna'' *''Bucaea'' *''Canararctia'' *''Carcinarctia'' *''Cheliosea'' *''Chionarctia'' *''Cladarctia'' *'' Creataloum'' *''Creatonotos'' wi ...
