Jacob Hübner
Jacob Hübner (20 June 1761 – 13 September 1826, in Augsburg) was a German entomologist. He was the author of ''Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge'' (1796–1805), a founding work of entomology. Scientific career Hübner was the author of ''Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge'' (1796–1805), a founding work of entomology. He was one of the first specialists to work on the European Lepidoptera. He described many new species, for example ''Sesia bembeciformis'' and ''Euchloe tagis'', many of them common. He also described many new genus, genera. He was a designer and engraver and from 1786 he worked for three years as a designer and engraver at a cotton factory in Ukraine. There he collected Butterfly, butterflies and moths including descriptions and illustrations of some in ''Beiträge zur Geschichte der Schmetterlinge'' (1786–1790) along with other new species from the countryside around his home in Augsburg. Hübner's masterwork "Tentamen" was intended as a discussion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. 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 taxonomy (biology), 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. Phylogeneti ...

Arctiinae (moth)
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 (biology), 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, footman and wasp moths (Arctiinae (erebid moths), Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth (''Gynaephora groenlandica''); fruit-piercing moths (Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zale (moth), zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, Crambidae, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (around wingspan in the Thysania agrippina, white witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini).

Composia Fidelissima
''Composia fidelissima'' the faithful beauty or Uncle Sam moth is a moth in the family Erebidae. It is found in southern Florida and the West Indies, including Cuba. The species was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1866. The moth's forewings are black with rows of white dots and red around the costal margin. Their hindwings fade from blue into black, with white dots around the edge. Their thorax continues the trend of white-speckled black, while their abdomen takes on the same blue color of their hindwings. They have a wingspan of 48–64 mm. Adults are on wing year round. They are day flying. The larvae feed on '' Cynanchum scoparium'', ''Canavalia'' (including '' Canavalia rosea''), ''Nerium'' (including ''Nerium oleander'') and '' Echites'' species (including ''Echites umbellatus ''Echites umbellatus'' is a flowering climber, belonging to subfamily Apocynoideae of the family Apocynaceae and has the English common name devil's potato.
