Adaina Montanus
''Adaina'' is a genus of moths in the family Pterophoridae. The genus was erected in 1905 by J. W. Tutt. Several of its species have gall-inducing insect, gall-inducing larvae, such as ''Adaina primulacea'', of which the larvae induce stem galls on ''Chromolaena odorata'', and ''Adaina microdactyla'', which induces stem galls on ''Eupatorium cannabinum''. Species , the Catalogue of the Pterophoroidea of the World lists the following 42 species for genus ''Adaina'': *''Adaina ambrosiae'' (Murtfeldt, 1880) *''Adaina atahualpa'' Gielis, 2011 *''Adaina beckeri'' Gielis, 1992 *''Adaina bernardi'' Gielis, 1992 *''Adaina bipunctatus'' (Möschler, 1890) *''Adaina bolivari'' (Cåpuse, 1987) *''Adaina cinerascens'' (Walsingham, 1880) *''Adaina coquimboae'' Gielis, 2012 *''Adaina costarica'' Gielis, 1992 *''Adaina desolata'' Arenberger & Bond, 1995 *''Adaina everdinae'' Gielis, 1991 *''Adaina excreta'' Meyrick, 1930 *''Adaina fuscahodias'' Gielis, 1992 *''Adaina gentilis'' Meyrick, 1911 *'' ...

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] |
