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.

Scythrididae
Scythrididae (flower moths) is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The family is sometimes included in the Xyloryctidae as a subfamily Scythridinae, but the Xyloryctidae themselves have sometimes been included in the Oecophoridae as subfamily. Scythrididae adults are smallish to mid-sized moths, which when at rest appear teardrop-shaped. Selected genera Genera of Scythrididae (with some notable species also listed) include: * '' Apostibes'' Walsingham, 1907 * ''Areniscythris'' Powell, 1976 * '' Asymmetrura'' Landry, 1991 * ''Bactrianoscythris'' Passerin d'Entrèves & Roggero, 2009 * '' Catascythris'' * '' Coleophorides'' Amsel, 1935 * '' Enolmis'' Duponchel, 1845 * '' Episcythris'' Amsel, 1939 * ''Eretmocera'' Zeller, 1852 * '' Erigethes'' Walsingham, 1907 * '' Falkovitshella'' Passerin d'Entrèves & Roggero, 2007 * '' Haploscythris'' Viette, 1956 * ''Mapsidius'' Walsingham, 1907 * ''Necrothalassia'' Amsel, 1935 * '' Neoscythris'' Landry, 1991 * ''Paralogis ...

Canary Islands
The Canary Islands (; es, Canarias, ), also known informally as the Canaries, are a Spanish autonomous community and archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, in Macaronesia. At their closest point to the African mainland, they are west of Morocco. They are the southernmost of the autonomous communities of Spain. The islands have a population of 2.2 million people and they are the most populous special territory of the European Union. The seven main islands are (from largest to smallest in area) Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro. The archipelago includes many smaller islands and islets, including La Graciosa, Alegranza, Isla de Lobos, Montaña Clara, Roque del Oeste, and Roque del Este. It also includes a number of rocks, including those of Salmor, Fasnia, Bonanza, Garachico, and Anaga. In ancient times, the island chain was often referred to as "the Fortunate Isles". The Canary Islands are the southernmost regio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
El Hierro
El Hierro, nicknamed ''Isla del Meridiano'' (the "Meridian Island"), is the second-smallest and farthest-south and -west of the Canary Islands (an autonomous community of Spain), in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, with a population of 10,968 (2019). Its capital is Valverde. At , it is the second-smallest of the eight main islands of the Canaries. Name The name ''El Hierro'', although spelled like the Spanish word for 'iron', is not related to that word. The ''H'' in the name of the metal is derived from the ''F'' of Latin ''ferrum'' (compare ''higo'' for 'fig'), a phonetic mutation that was complete by the end of the Middle Ages. The confusion with the name of the metal had effects on the international naming of the island. As early as the 16th century, maps and texts called the island after the word for 'iron' in other languages: Portuguese ''Ferro'', French ''l'île de Fer'', and Latin '' Insula Ferri''. Nevertheless, the origin of the name ''ero'' or ''er ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scythris
''Scythris'' is a genus of gelechioid moths. It is the type genus of the flower moth family, which is sometimes included as a subfamily in the ''Xyloryctidae'', or together with these merged into the Oecophoridae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825. It is the largest genus of flower moths, and as such might not be fully monophyletic with regard to some very small or monotypic genera placed in the same family. In addition, new species of ''Scythris'' continue to be discovered and described.FE (2009), and see references in Savela (2008) Selected species Species groups The species of ''Scythris'' have been divided among several groups, which may or may not be monophyletic; those that are may – provided they are closely enough related to the type species '' S. limbella'' – be considered subgenera. There is a considerable number of species whose exact relationships are hitherto elusive. Some have been placed in a "Monospecific species group" of their own, as ...
