Francis Walker (entomologist)
Francis Walker (31 July 1809 – 5 October 1874) was an English entomologist. 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 ...

Moca Pelinactis
''Moca pelinactis'' is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1925. It is found in Cameroon. The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are rather light grey, from the base to the end of the cell almost wholly suffused with light ochreous, except for a grey line beneath the pale ochreous costal edge, beyond the cell with suffused light ochreous streaks between the veins not quite reaching a curved light ochreous streak which runs from three-fourths of the costa near the margin to the tornus, and emits short lines anteriorly on the veins passing between the interneural streaks.
