Chalcosiinae
Chalcosiinae is a subfamily of the Zygaenidae, containing many species, mostly little known. Prominent sexual dimorphism, bright aposematic coloration and mimicry complexes are widespread. Several members of this subfamily remain relatively obscure, only being known from a single specimen, as in the case of the genus '' Isocrambia''. Some others are known from specimens of a specific sex, such as '' Cyanidia'' and '' Allocaprima''. Distribution The members of Chalcosiinae are distributed throughout Palearctic East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. The majority of the subfamily extending as far north as the Russian Far-East (''Elcysma westwoodi'') and as far west as Pakistan ('' Campylotes''). A single genus, '' Aglaope'' is disjunctly distributed from the remainder of the subfamily, being found in the Iberian peninsula and Southern France. Mimicry A large majority of Chalcosiine moths engage in mimicry complexes with a large variety of butterflies and moth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elcysma Westwoodi
''Elcysma westwoodi'' (often spelled ''Elcysma westwoodii''), commonly known as the white-tailed zygaenid moth, is a species of moth in the burnet moth family Zygaenidae. It has a Palaearctic distribution, being found in Japan, the Korean Peninsula, China, and the Russian Far East. The species was first described by Samuel Constantinus Snellen van Vollenhoven in 1863 as ''Agalope westwoodii''. The white-tailed zygaenid is particularly known for its status as an agricultural pest for members of the family Rosaceae, and has been described as the most damaging pest for '' Prunus yedoensis'' trees. Studies have been conducted on the potential for the use of endoparasites in mitigating the extent of damage on crop trees. ''Elcysma westwoodi'' is known as ウスバツバメ, ''usuba-tsubame'' in the Japanese language. The Japanese common name alludes to the swallow, of which the moth's hindwings resemble the tails of. In Korean, it is known as 벚나무모시나방, ''beojnamumosi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zygaenidae
The Zygaenidae moths are a family of Lepidoptera. The majority of zygaenids are tropical, but they are nevertheless quite well represented in temperate regions. Some of the 1000 or so species are commonly known as burnet or forester moths, often qualified by the number of spots, although other families also have 'foresters'. They are also sometimes called smoky moths. All 43 species of Australian zygaenids are commonly known as foresters and belong to the tribe Artonini. The only nonendemic species in Australia is ''Palmartona catoxantha'', a Southeast Asian pest species which is believed to be already present in Australia or likely to arrive soon.Tarmann, G.M. "Zygaenid moths of Australia. A revision of the Australian Zygaenidae". Description Larvae Larvae are stout and may be flattened. A fleshy extension of the thorax covers the head. Most feed on herbaceous plants, but some are tree feeders. Larvae in two subfamilies, Chalcosiinae and Zygaeninae, have cavities in whic ...

Calinaga
''Calinaga'' is the sole genus of the monotypic nymphalid butterfly subfamily Calinaginae. Its species occur in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The evolutionary history of ''Calinaga'' remains a mystery until today. Recent research indicated that the common ancestor of ''Calinaga'' first split in the Eocene in southern China. This was most likely due to a consequence of geological and environmental impacts of the collision of the Indian and Asian subcontinents.

Russian Far-East
The Russian Far East (russian: Дальний Восток России, r=Dal'niy Vostok Rossii, p=ˈdalʲnʲɪj vɐˈstok rɐˈsʲiɪ) is a region in Northeast Asia. It is the easternmost part of Russia and the Asian continent; and is administered as part of the Far Eastern Federal District, which is located between Lake Baikal in eastern Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. The area's largest city is Khabarovsk, followed by Vladivostok. The region shares land borders with the countries of Mongolia, China, and North Korea to its south, as well as maritime boundaries with Japan to its southeast, and with the United States along the Bering Strait to its northeast. The Russian Far East is often considered as a part of Siberia (previously during the Soviet era when it was called the Soviet Far East). Terminology In Russia, the region is usually referred to as just "Far East" (). What is known in English as the Far East is usually referred to as "the Asia-Pacific Region" (, abbrevi ...

Southern France
Southern France, also known as the South of France or colloquially in French as , is a defined geographical area consisting of the regions of France that border the Atlantic Ocean south of the Marais Poitevin,Louis Papy, ''Le midi atlantique'', Atlas et géographie de la France moderne, Flammarion, Paris, 1984. Spain, the Mediterranean Sea and Italy. It includes southern Nouvelle-Aquitaine in the west, Occitanie in the centre, the southern parts of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in the northeast, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur in the southeast, as well as the island of Corsica in the southeast. Southern France is generally included into Southern Europe because of its association with the Mediterranean Sea. The term derives from ('middle') and ('day') in Old French, comparable to the term to indicate southern Italy, which is a synonym for south in Romanian, or which is a synonym for the south direction in Spanish. The time of midday was synonymous with south because in France, as in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
