Dicallomera
''Dicallomera'' is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy Linnaeus first described ''Phalaena bombyx fascelina'' in 1758. Arthur Gardiner Butler first created the genus ''Dicallomera'' in 1881, for which he made ''Dicallomera fascelina'' the type species. In 1887 Otto Staudinger moved this species to the genus ''Dasychira'', and also described a new species, ''D. nivalis'' -he had previously described ''D. pumila'' in 1881, and would later describe ''D. obscurata'' in 1900 (now a subspecies of '' Dicallomera nivalis''). In 1934 Felix Bryk moved it and a number of ''Dasychira'' species to the genus ''Olene''. Igor Vasilii Kozhanchikov followed Bryk in 1950, but Douglas C. Ferguson in 1978 moved ''O. fascelina'' and a number of species back to Butler's ''Dicallomera''. One new species, ''Dicallomera kusnezovi'' from Wrangel Island in far northern Arctic Russia, was described in 1989 by Vladimir A. Lukhtanov and Khruliova, and a few other species were mov ...

Dicallomera Fascelina
''Dicallomera fascelina'', the dark tussock, is a moth in the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It is found in most of Europe, through the Palearctic to Central Asia to Korea. Technical description and variation The wingspan is 35–45 mm. "Forewing ash-grey, lighter at the costal margin, with black and yellow irrorations, the median area bounded on the inner side by a regularly curved dark transverse line and on the outer side by a similar one twice or three times broken; both lines being most distinct at the costal margin. Hindwing grey or whitish. ab. ''proletaria'' Strand does not attain more than 29 mm. in the male; it is also distinguished by the ground colour of both wings being olive-grey, with the two transverse lines rather indistinct and not reaching the hindmargin, while the discocellular spot is more conspicuous than in true ''fascelina''. - ''medicagitlis'' Hbn. is darker ...

Dicallomera Pumila
''Dicallomera pumila'' is a little seen species of moth of the family Erebidae found in mountains in Kazakhstan and in the southern Urals. Taxonomy Until this century, only four caterpillars of this species had ever been found. These were collected near Lake Zaysan in Kazakhstan in the late 19th century and raised to adulthood: becoming two males and two females. These type specimens were transported to Germany and are now in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt Universität in Berlin. Here Otto Staudinger studied them, publishing a description of the species in 1881, and placing it in the genus ''Dasychira'', although he concluded his description with a statement that should it be reclassified in the future, he proposed the name ''Dasorgyia'' for a new monotypic genus for it. The females having shortened wings, he believed they were likely inadequately raised. In 1950, based on photographs of the type specimens in Berlin, Igor Vasilii Kozhanchikov moved the species to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gynaephora
''Gynaephora'' is a genus of "tussock moths", also known as the Lymantriinae, within the family Erebidae. They are mainly found in the Holarctic in alpine, Arctic and Subarctic regions, and are best known for their unusually long larval development period. The life-cycle of ''Gynaephora groenlandica'' was once believed to take fourteen years, but subsequent studies reduced it to seven, still a very slow development rate that is extremely rare in the Lepidoptera. The caterpillars have five instars, with each instar lasting a year. Taxonomy The European species ''Gynaephora selenitica'' was the first described (as ''Phalaena selenitica''). It was moved to ''Gynaephora'' by Jakob Hübner in 1819 and subsequently designated as type species by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. In Kirby's time there were three species recognised in the genus: ''G. selenitica'', ''G. pluto'' (now ''Xylophanes pluto'') and ''G. xerampelina'' (now ''Aroa xerampelina''). ''Laria rossii'' had been descri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gynaephora Groenlandica
''Gynaephora groenlandica'', the Arctic woolly bear moth, is an erebid moth native to the High Arctic in the Canadian archipelago, Greenland and Wrangel Island in Russia. It is known for its slow rate of development, as its full caterpillar life cycle may extend up to 7 years, with moulting occurring each spring. This species remains in a larval state for the vast majority of its life. Rare among Lepidoptera, it undergoes an annual period of diapause that lasts for much of the calendar year, as ''G. groenlandica'' is subject to some of the longest, most extreme winters on Earth.Bennett VA, Lee RE Jr, Nauman JS, Kukal O. Selection of overwintering microhabitats used by the arctic woollybear caterpillar, ''Gynaephora groenlandica''. Cryo Letters. 2003 May-Jun;24(3):191-200. In this dormant state, it can withstand temperatures as low as −70 °C. The Arctic woolly bear moth also exhibits basking behavior, which aids in temperature regulation and digestion and affects both met ...

Gynaephora Rossii
''Gynaephora rossii'', in English known as Ross' tussock moth, is a species of tussock moth in the family Erebidae. It is widespread in the tundras and highlands of the Holarctic. It has large, furry caterpillars which seem to eat mostly saxifrages. Taxonomy This moth was first described in 1835 by John Curtis as ''Laria rossii'', who placed it in the genus ''Laria'' described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802; the genus ''Laria'', however, had already been used in 1763 for a genus of beetles by Scolipi (now ''Pria''), so the species required moving to another genus. Heinrich Benno Möschler first moved it to the genus ''Dasychira'' in his 1870 work on the moths of Labrador. Otto Staudinger also classified it in the genus ''Dasychira'' in 1901, but in 1927 William Schaus moved it to the genus ''Byrdia''. Also in 1927 Otto Bang-Haas described the subspecies ''Dasychira rossii relictus'' from the eastern Sayan Mountains. A year later, in 1928, Shōnen Matsumura described ''Konok ...

Shōnen Matsumura
was a Japanese entomologist. Born in Akashi, Hyōgo, Dr. Shōnen Matsumura established Japan's first course on entomology at Hokkaido University. The courses were both applied (on insects of importance in forestry and agriculture) and theoretical. He named over 1,200 species of Japanese insects and in 1926 he founded the entomological journal ''Insecta Matsumurana.'' Matsumura wrote many scientific papers and books including ''6,000 illustrated Insects of Japan-Empire'' (1931). He died in Tokyo. His collection is in Hokkaido University in Sapporo.
