Cossinae
The Cossinae are the nominate subfamily of the Cossidae (carpenter or goat moths). The caterpillars of several Cossinae species, such as the carpenterworm (''Prionoxystus robiniae'') and the goat moth (''Cossus cossus''), are significant pests. On the other hand, in Chile the caterpillars of the Chilean moth (''Chilecomadia moorei'') are collected on a commercial scale for sale as fishing bait and terrarium pet food; they are usually called "butterworms" in international trade. The Cossulinae have been separated from the Cossinae in recent decades, but this was not universally accepted at first. Some misplaced genera have been moved between the subfamilies, and as it seems the Cossulinae at least now represent a monophyletic group. Systematics Some significant species are also listed:See references in Savela (2008) *Unplaced to tribe/placement unknown ** '' Citharalia'' Clench, 1957 (formerly in Cossulinae) ** '' Comadia'' Barnes & McDunnough, 1911 ** '' Cossodes'' White, 1841 * ...

Walter Karl Johann Roepke
Walter Karl Johann Roepke (18 September 1882, Hohensalza – 7 February 1961, Wageningen) was a German entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Roepke was educated in the University of Berlin and the University of Zürich where he took his PhD degree in 1907. From 1908−1911 he was on the staff of the Experiment Station at Salatiga, in Java becoming acting director in 1911−12 and director from 1912−18. From 1918−19 he was entomologist at the Institute for Plant Diseases, Buitenzorg and from 1919 he was professor at the Agricultural College, Wageningen. He retired in 1953. Roepke was the author of entomological papers on the butterflies of Java and Indomalaya; he described many new taxa. His collection of Hesperiidae from Indomalaya is in the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden Leiden (; in English and archaic Dutch also Leyden) is a city and municipality in the province of South Holland, Netherlands.

Moth
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.

Cossidae
The Cossidae, the cossid millers or carpenter millers, make up a family of mostly large miller moths. This family contains over 110 genera with almost 700 known species, and many more species await description. Carpenter millers are nocturnal Lepidoptera found worldwide, except the Southeast Asian subfamily Ratardinae, which is mostly active during the day. This family includes many species with large caterpillars and moths with a wingspan from . These moths are mostly grey; some have long, narrow wings and resemble hawkmoths (Sphingidae) which are more advanced macrolepidoptera, however. Many are twig, bark, or leaf mimics, and Cossidae often have some sort of large marking at the tip of the forewing uppersides, conspicuous in flight, but resembling a broken-off twig when the animals are resting. Caterpillars are smooth with a few hairs. Most cossid caterpillars are tree borers, in some species taking up to three years to mature. The caterpillars pupate within their tunnels; ...
