Acontia Venita
''Acontia'' is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was named by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. ''Eusceptis'', ''Pseudalypia'' and ''Spragueia'' are sometimes included in the present genus, but here they are tentatively treated as different pending further research. Many species of ''Tarache'' were also once placed here (see below). Description Palpi long, porrect (extending forward) and met by a short sharp frontal tuft. Third joint prominent. Antennae simple. Thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled and tuftless. Forewings with non-crenulate cilia. Veins 7, 8 and 9, 10 stalked. Larva possess four abdominal prolegs.

Acontia Areletta
''Acontia areletta'' is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1907. It is found in Mexico. The length of the forewings is 12–14 mm for both males and females. Adults are on wing from October to November depending on the location. Morphology ''Acontia'' species are characterized by an elongated palpi having pointed frontal tuft, and a well developed third segment. Antennae are simple and filiform, having no complex modifications or branches. Both the thorax and abdomen are covered in smooth scales, lacking tufts or patches. The forewing is bordered with non-crenulate cilia, and plain unnotched fringe along the edges. In terms of venation, veins 7 to 10 are stalked. The larval A larva (; : larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage. Animals with indirect development such as insects, some arachnids, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval ph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
