August Busck
Augustus Busck (February 18, 1870 – March 7, 1944) was a Danish-American entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology. He is best known for his work with microlepidoptera, of which he described over 600 species. His collections of Lepidoptera from North America and the Panama Canal Zone are held by the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Publications Busck authored and co-authored over 150 papers, among them: * 1902: A list of the North American Lepidoptera and key to the literature of this order of insects. Harrison Gray Dyar Jr.; assisted by Charles H. Fernald, Ph.D., the late Rev. George Duryea Hulst, and August Busck.

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.

Gracillariidae
Gracillariidae is an important family of insects in the order Lepidoptera and the principal family of leaf miners that includes several economic, horticultural or recently invasive pest species such as the horse-chestnut leaf miner, ''Cameraria ohridella''. Taxonomy and systematics There are 98 described genera of Gracillariidae (see below). A complete checklist is available of all currently recognised species. There are many undescribed species in the tropics but there is also an online catalogue of Afrotropical described speci the South African fauna is quite well known. Although Japanese and Russian authors have recognised additional subfamilies, there are three currently recognised subfamilies, Phyllocnistinae of which is likely to be basal. In this subfamily, the primitive genus ''Prophyllocnistis'' from Chile feeds on the plant genus ''Drimys'' (Winteraceae), and has leaf mines structurally similar in structure to fossils (see "Fossils"). While there have been some r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Virginia
Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern regions of the United States, between the East Coast of the United States, Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth (U.S. state), Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond, Virginia, Richmond; Virginia Beach, Virginia, Virginia Beach is the most-populous city, and Fairfax County, Virginia, Fairfax County is the most-populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's population was over 8.65million, with 36% of them living in the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area. The area's history begins with Native American tribes in Virginia, several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607, the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent English overseas posse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gracillariinae
Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths which was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854. The subfamilies of Gracillariidae differ by the adult moth resting posture.(Davis and Robinson, 1999) Most Gracillariinae rest with the front of the body steeply raised; Lithocolletinae and Phyllocnistinae rest with the body parallel to the surface; in Lithocolletinae often with the head lowered. Genera Gracillariidae phylogeny has been revised in 2017(Kawahara et al. 2017) and the Acrocercopinae subfamily is contains 25 genera (59 genera were affected to other subfamilies): *'' Africephala'' Vári, 1986 *''Apistoneura'' Vári, 1961 *'' Aristaea'' Meyrick, 1907 *'' Artifodina'' Kumata, 1985 *''Aspilapteryx'' Spuler, 1910 **=''Sabulopteryx'' Triberti, 1985 *'' Callicercops'' Vári, 1961 *''Caloptilia'' Hübner, 1825 **=''Poeciloptilia'' Hübner, 1825 **=''Ornix'' Collar, 1832 **=''Ornix'' Treitschke, 1833 **=''Coriscium'' Zeler, 1839 **=''Calliptilia'' Agassiz, 1847 **=''Timodora'' M ...
