Zika Forest
The Zika (or Ziika) Forest () is a tropical forest near Entebbe in Uganda. means 'overgrown' in the Luganda language. As the property of the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI) of Entebbe, it is protected and restricted to scientific research. The forest covers an area of about next to the swamps of Waiya Bay, an inlet of Lake Victoria. Easily accessible and combining several ecosystems, the Zika Forest is well suited to the study of mosquitoes. According to the UVRI, the size of the research area of the forest is about . The forest has a rich biodiversity in plants and moths, and is home to about 40 species of mosquitoes. The UVRI also maintains an insectary for studying disease vectors. The forest is also accessible to visitors for bird watching. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter once visited the forest for that purpose. The Zika virus as well as the moths '' Sidisca zika'' and '' Milocera zika'' are named after the forest. The Zika Forest is where the infected ''Aed ...

Macariini
The Macariini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Though they share many traits with the Sterrhinae, this is probably plesiomorphic rather than indicative of a close relationship, and DNA sequence data points to the Boarmiini as particularly close relatives of the Macariini. All things considered, this tribe might still resemble the first Ennominae more than any other living lineage in the subfamily.Young (2008) Selected genera and species As numerous ennominae genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe,See references in Savela (2008) the genus list should be considered preliminary. * '' Acanthovalva'' * '' Aporhoptrina'' * '' Chiasmia'' * '' Digrammia'' * '' Dissomorphia'' * '' Elpiste'' * '' Epelis'' * '' Eumacaria'' * '' Fernaldella'' * '' Gnopharmia'' * '' Godonela'' * '' Heliomata'' - might belong in Abraxini (Cassymini if distinct) * '' Heterocallia'' * '' Hypephyra'' * '' Isturgia'' ** Frosted yellow, ''Isturgia limbaria'' * '' Itame'' * '' Letis ...

Lepidoptera Of Uganda
Lepidoptera ( ) or lepidopterans is an order of winged insects which includes butterflies and moths. About 180,000 species of the Lepidoptera have been described, representing 10% of the total described species of living organisms, making it the second largest insect order (behind Coleoptera) with 126 families and 46 superfamilies, and one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. Lepidopteran species are characterized by more than three derived features. The most apparent is the presence of scales that cover the bodies, large triangular wings, and a proboscis for siphoning nectars. The scales are modified, flattened "hairs", and give butterflies and moths their wide variety of colors and patterns. Almost all species have some form of membranous wings, except for a few that have reduced wings or are wingless. Mating and the laying of eggs is normally performed near or on host plants for the larvae. Like most other insects, butterflies and moth ...

Moths Described In 2001
Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies. They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxon is used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although 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.
