Flax Tortrix
''Cnephasia asseclana'', the flax tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found all over Europe. The wingspan is 15–18 mm. Adults are on the wing from June to August. The caterpillars feed on a wide range of herbaceous plants and even dry leaves, and can become a pest (organism), pest. They initially leaf miner, mine the leaves. Later they spin together leaves or flowers for pupation. Taxonomy The flax tortrix is part of a cryptic species complex, and its Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy has been quite confused. For long, it was known as "''C. wahlbomiana''", a name that has led to many misidentifications (see below) until it was finally suppressed in favor of ''C. virgaureana''. That, however, subsequently turned out to refer to the same species as the earlier-described ''C. asseclana'', and thus the latter name became the senior synonym. Obsolete scientific names (junior synonyms and others) of ''C. asseclana'' are: * ''Cnephasia confluens'' Réal, 1952 * ''Cne ...

Taxonomy
Taxonomy is the practice and science of categorization or classification. A taxonomy (or taxonomical classification) is a scheme of classification, especially a hierarchical classification, in which things are organized into groups or types. Among other things, a taxonomy can be used to organize and index knowledge (stored as documents, articles, videos, etc.), such as in the form of a library classification system, or a search engine taxonomy, so that users can more easily find the information they are searching for. Many taxonomies are hierarchies (and thus, have an intrinsic tree structure), but not all are. Originally, taxonomy referred only to the categorisation of organisms or a particular categorisation of organisms. In a wider, more general sense, it may refer to a categorisation of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a categorisation. Taxonomy organizes taxonomic units known as "taxa" (singular "taxon")." Taxonomy is different from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lapsus
In philology, a lapsus (Latin for "lapse, slip, error") is an involuntary mistake made while writing or speaking. Investigations In 1895 an investigation into verbal slips was undertaken by a philologist and a psychologist, Rudolf Meringer and Karl Mayer, who collected many examples and divided them into separate types. Psychoanalysis Freud was to become interested in such mistakes from 1897 onwards, developing an interpretation of slips in terms of their unconscious meaning. Subsequently followers of his like Ernest Jones developed the theme of lapsus in connection with writing, typing, and misprints. According to Freud's early psychoanalytic theory, a lapsus represents a bungled act that hides an unconscious desire: “the phenomena can be traced back to incompletely suppressed psychical material...pushed away by consciousness”. Jacques Lacan would thoroughly endorse the Freudian interpretation of unconscious motivation in the slip, arguing that “in the ''lapsus'' it ...

Moths Of Europe
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Cnephasia
''Cnephasia'' is a genus of tortrix moths (family (biology), family Tortricidae). It belongs to the subfamily Tortricinae and therein to the tribe (biology), tribe Cnephasiini, of which it is the type genus. Taxonomy and systematics The type species around which ''Cnephasia'' was established by John Curtis (entomologist), J. Curtis in 1826 (in the explanations to Lithography, plate 100 of his ''British Entomology'') was claimed to be "''Tortrix logiana''". However, this was a misidentification; the name of ''T. logiana'' (described by Carl Alexander Clerck, C.A. Clerck in 1759 and nowadays called ''Acleris logiana'') was until the early 20th century frequently applied to related species in error. Curtis simply repeated the mistake of Adrian Hardy Haworth, A.H. Haworth, who had in his 1811 volume of ''Lepidoptera Britannica'' discussed a ''Cnephasia'' under Clerck's name, but the original misidentification may well go back to Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus' treatment of "''T. logiana''" ...

Cnephasia Pasiuana
''Cnephasia pasiuana'', the meadow shade, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1799. It is found in almost all of Europe. The habitat consists of rough pastures, fens and marshy areas. The wingspan is 15–19 mm. The forewing pattern varies from pale to dark grey. Meyrick describes it -Antennal cilia of male very short. Thorax crested. Forewings elongate, costa moderately arched, 7 to apex ; fuscous, finely irrorated with whitish-ochreous ; an angulated fascia at 1/3, central fascia, and apical suffused patch darker, sometimes obsolete. Hindwings pale fuscous, darker terminally, 6 and 7 stalked.The larva yellowish- grey ; spots black. There is one generation per year, with adults on wing from June to July. The larvae feed on the flowers of various herbaceous plants, primarily Asteraceae species. They have been recorded feeding on ''Agropyron'', '' Pisum'', '' Brassica'', ''Medicago'', '' Humulus'', as well as ''Ranunculus ''Ranuncul ...

Cnephasia Longana
''Cnephasia longana'', the omnivorous leaftier moth, long-winged shade or strawberry fruitworm, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1811. It is native to western Europe (where it is found from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, Sicily and Crete and from Ireland to Poland). It is an introduced species in western North America (where it is found in southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California). The species has also been reported from north-western Africa and Asia. The habitat consists of downland and rough ground. The length of the forewings is 7.5-10.8 mm. Adults are sexually dimorphic. Males have uniform white to yellowish-brown forewings. Females are marked with light to dark brown. In Meyrick it is described -Antennal cilia of male short. Forewings elongate, costa hardly arched, 7 to or close beneath apex ; in male whitish-ochreous, unicolorous ;in female pale greyish -ochreous, an angulated fascia at ...
