He was born in Southgate, London, on 31 July 1809 and died at Wanstead, England on 5 October 1874. He was one of the most prolific authors in entomology, and stirred controversy during his later life as his publications resulted in a huge number of junior synonyms. However, his assiduous work on the collections of the British Museum had great significance. Between June 1848 and late 1873 Walker was contracted by John Edward Gray Director of the British Museum to catalogue their insects (except Coleoptera) that is Orthoptera, Neuroptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. Walker largely accomplished this and (Edwards, 1870) wrote of the plan and by implication those who implemented it “It is to him raythat the Public owe the admirable helps to the study of natural history which have been afforded by the series of inventories, guides, and nomenclatures, the publication of which ... <a href="/html/ALL/s/F/Francis_Walker_(entomologist).html" style="text-decoration:none;"> <br>[...More Info...] &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp <a href="/html/ALL/l/F/Francis_Walker_(entomologist).html" style="text-decoration:none;"> [...Related Items...] &nbsp &nbsp <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Walker_(entomologist)" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"><b> OR:</b> &nbsp &nbsp [Wikipedia] &nbsp </a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Francis_Walker_(entomologist)" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Google] &nbsp </a>    <a href="https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Francis_Walker_(entomologist)" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Baidu] &nbsp </a>  </div> <br></a></a> <br> </div> </td> </tr> <tr; > <td width="15%"><p> <a href="/html/ALL/s/M/Moth.html" title="Click for more on -> Moth"> <center><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/Basic_moth_identification_features.jpg" title="Click for more on -> Moth" width="100%;" height="auto;"><center></a> <a href = "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Basic_moth_identification_features.jpg" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none; color:#d0d0d0;">picture info</a> </p> </td> <td valign="top"; width="75%"; > <div style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:9%";>  <div style="margin-left:2%";> <big><big><b><a href="/html/ALL/s/M/Moth.html" style="text-decoration:none;">Moth</a></b></big></big><br> 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.

They are considered the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 genera and 11,772 species. This classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae. Description Adult: Most noctuid adults have drab wings, but some subfamilies, such as Acronictinae and Agaristinae, are very colorful, especially those from tropical regions (e.g. ''Baorisa hieroglyphica'').

The final ''r'' in ''Myanmar'' was not intended for pronunciation and is there to ensure that the final a is pronounced with the broad ''ah'' () in "father".
