Henri De Peyerimhoff (entomologist)
Henri de Peyerimhoff de Fontenelle full name Marie Antoine Hercule Henri de Peyerimhoff (27 July 1838 – 9 April 1877) was a magistrate and entomologist from Alsace, France. He is known for his work with smaller moths. Life Henri de Peyerimhoff de Fontenelle was born on 27 July 1838 in Colmar, Alsace. His parents were Jean-Baptiste Hercule de Peyerimhoff de Fontenelle (1809–1890), mayor of Colmar, and Marie-Rose Béchelé. His father's family originated in 14th-century Alsace near the borders with Bavaria and Baden. The Catholic branch associated with Switzerland assumed the name "Peyerimhoff de Fontenelle" in the late 18th century. His father was head of the Colmar municipal council and did much to modernise the city. Henri de Peyerimhoff became a magistrate and was also an entomologist who specialized in microlepidoptera (smaller moths). Peyerimhoff married Marie George on 15 November 1870 in Strasbourg. She was from the Bellaigues, a solid '' bourgeoisie de robe'' in Nancy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Colmar
Colmar (, ; Alsatian: ' ; German during 1871–1918 and 1940–1945: ') is a city and commune in the Haut-Rhin department and Grand Est region of north-eastern France. The third-largest commune in Alsace (after Strasbourg and Mulhouse), it is the seat of the prefecture of the Haut-Rhin department and of the subprefecture of the Colmar-Ribeauvillé arrondissement. The city is renowned for its well-preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks, and its museums, among which is the Unterlinden Museum, which houses the '' Isenheim Altarpiece''. Colmar is situated on the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the "capital of Alsatian wine" ('). History Colmar was first mentioned by Charlemagne in his chronicle about Saxon wars. This was the location where the Carolingian Emperor Charles the Fat held a diet in 884. Colmar was granted the status of a free imperial city by Emperor Frederick II in 1226. In 1354 it joined the Décapole city league.G. K ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aristotelia Lucentella
''Eulamprotes unicolorella'', the unmarked neb, is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1843. It is found in almost all of Europe. The habitat consists of wastelands and dry open areas. The wingspan is 10–13 mm. The forewings are bronzy-black, somewhat lighter basally; a nearly straight narrow white fascia beyond middle. Hindwings fuscous, darker posteriorly. Under-surface with white fascia distinct across forewings and forming a costal spot on hindwings.The larva is pale ochreous-yellowish ; 3-12 with broad dull red transverse bands, on 3 and 4 somewhat interrupted ; head yellow - brown ; plate of 2 yellow brown, posteriorly blackish marked.

Crinopteryginae
''Crinopteryx'' is a monotypic genus of primitive monotrysian moths. Its sole species, ''Crinopteryx familiella'', is endemic to Europe, where it is restricted to the Mediterranean region of France, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily. ''Crinopteryx'' used to be classified in its own, monotypic family called Crinopterygidae, but the latter has been downgraded to a subfamily (Crinopteryginae) of the family Incurvariidae. ''Crinopteryx familiella'' is a small moth, about 7 mm in wingspan, and its morphological characters are rather unusual for the superfamily Adeloidea. For example, the caterpillar bears a case (see also Coleophoridae, feeding on rockrose (''Cistus'' shrubs) (Rosaceae) (Davis, 1999: 83), and especially ''Cistus salviifolius ''Cistus salviifolius'', common names sage-leaved rock-rose, salvia cistus or Gallipoli rose, is a shrub of the family Cistaceae.

Incurvariidae
Incurvariidae is a family of small primitive monotrysian moths in the order Lepidoptera. There are twelve genera recognised (Davis, 1999). Many species are leaf mine A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths (Lepidoptera), sawflies (Symphyta, the mother clade of wa ...rs and much is known of their host plants, excluding '' Paraclemensia acerifoliella''. The most familiar species in Europe are perhaps '' Incurvaria masculella'' and '' Phylloporia bistrigella''. The narrow wings are held tightly along the body at rest and some species have very long antennae. References *Davis, D.R. (1999). The Monotrysian Heteroneura. Ch. 6, pp. 65–90 in Kristensen, N.P.

Gynnidomorpha Rubricana
''Gynnidomorpha rubricana'' is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae first described by Henri de Peyerimhoff in 1877.

Epermenia Aequidentellus
''Epermenia aequidentellus'', also known as the carrot lance-wing, is a moth of the family Epermeniidae found in Europe, Madeira and the Canary Islands. It was first described by Ernest Hofmann in 1867, from a specimen found in Vorderer Kaiser, near Kufstein, Austria. Description The wingspan is 9–12 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July and again from September to October in two generations per year. The larvae feed on bur-chervil (''Anthriscus caucalis''), '' Athamanta cretensis'', wild carrot (''Daucus carota''), baldmoney (''Meum athamanticum''), ''Peucedanum'' species, burnet-saxifrage (''Pimpinella saxifraga''), villous deadly carrot (''Thapsia villosa'') and spreading hedgeparsley ('' Torilis arvensis neglecta''). They initially mine the leaves of their host plant. Young larvae make several small, full depth blotch mines. The mines are mostly found in the apical part of the composite leaves. Older larvae live externally on the plant under a slight web, althoug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Epermeniidae
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae (e.g. Common, 1990: 321) but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first (Dugdale et al., 1999). They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" (having pupal segments I-IV immobile) is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths" ( Alucitoidea and Pterophoroidea), for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales (Dugdale et al., 1999). There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus '' Thambotricha'' ...
