Mompha Jurassicella
''Mompha jurassicella'' is a moth in the family Momphidae that can be found in western Europe. The range extends to Switzerland in the east. Description The species is greyish brown and has a wingspan of . The wings carry discarded markings, and have indistinct pattern. Adults are on wing from August to October and from March to April after overwintering. Male genitalia The male species sacculus is tapped distally, but is slightly bent. The apex is blunt, reaching sometimes beyond the top of cacullus. Their body also have small anellus lobes, which are clavate. The aedeagus have three carnuti, which are of the same length. The left part is broad, and is also covered and hooked with microspicules. The middle part is bifurcate, and the last one is slender and a bit pointy, with a little distal hook. The male genitalia is similar to the one of '' Mompha divisella'', but is different in a way that it have much more abruptly tapped sacculus and corni of different length. Ecology Th ...

Heinrich Frey
Heinrich Frey (June 15, 1822 – January 17, 1890) was a German-born Swiss entomologist who studied Lepidoptera. He was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and died in Zurich, Switzerland. He is not to be confused with the dipterist Richard Karl Hjalmar Frey. Biography Heinrich Frey attended the gymnasium in Frankfurt am Main until he was 16. Here he met Senator Carl Heinrich Georg von Heyden (1793–1866) who introduced him to entomology. He attended the University in Frankfurt am Main, then travelled to Bonn, Berlin, and Göttingen. When he returned to Frankfurt am Main in 1839 von Heyden showed him Philipp Christoph Zeller's ''Attempt at a Classification of the Tineinae'' which had just appeared in Oken's ''Isis''. Until this publication, this group of moths had been hopelessly confused and Frey was impressed by Zeller's orderly arrangement. Returning to Göttingen in 1847 he first became a private tutor, then an “extraordinary” professor at the University. (An ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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.

Momphidae
The Momphidae, or mompha moths, is a family of moths with some 115 described species. It was described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1857. These moths tend to be rather small with a wingspan of up to 21 mm. The wings are held folded over the body at rest. The larvae are concealed feeders, either as leaf miners or within seeds or stems.

Wingspan
The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of , the official record for a living bird. The term wingspan, more technically extent, is also used for other winged animals such as pterosaurs, bats, insects, etc., and other aircraft such as ornithopters. In humans, the term wingspan also refers to the arm span, which is distance between the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90º angle. Former professional basketball player Manute Bol stood at and owned one of the largest wingspans at .

Saccule
The saccule is a bed of sensory cells in the inner ear The inner ear (internal ear, auris interna) is the innermost part of the vertebrate ear. In vertebrates, the inner ear is mainly responsible for sound detection and balance. In mammals, it consists of the bony labyrinth, a hollow cavity in t .... It translates head movements into neural impulses for the brain to interpret. The saccule detects linear accelerations and head tilts in the vertical plane. When the head moves vertically, the sensory cells of the saccule are disturbed and the neurons connected to them begin transmitting impulses to the brain. These impulses travel along the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve to the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem. The vestibular system is important in maintaining balance, or equilibrium. The vestibular system includes the saccule, utricle, and the three semicircular canals. The Vestibule of the ear, vestibule is the name of the fluid-filled, membrano ...

Aedeagus
An aedeagus (plural aedeagi) is a reproductive organ of male arthropods through which they secrete sperm from the testes during copulation with a female. It can be thought of as the insect equivalent of a mammal's penis, though the comparison is fairly loose given the greater complexity of insect reproduction. The term is derived from Ancient Greek αἰδοῖα (''aidoia'', "private parts") and ἀγός (''agos'', "leader"). It is pronounced or . The aedeagus is part of the male's abdomen, which is the hindmost of the three major body sections of an insect. The pair of testes of the insect are connected to the aedeagus through the genital ducts. The aedeagus is part of the male insect's phallus, a complex and often species-specific arrangement of more or less sclerotized (hardened) flaps and hooks which also includes in some species the valvae (clasper), which are paired organs which help the male hold on to the female during copulation. During copulation, the aedeagus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carnuti
The Carnutes or Carnuti (Gaulish: 'the horned ones'), were a Gallic tribe dwelling in an extensive territory between the Sequana (Seine) and the Liger (Loire) rivers during the Iron Age and the Roman period. Name They are mentioned as ''Carnutes'' by Caesar (mid-1st c. BC) and Livy (late-1st c. BC), ''Carnūti'' by Tibullus (late-1st c. BC), ''Karnoútōn'' (Καρνούτων) and ''Karnoúntōn'' (Καρνούντων) by Strabo (early 1st c. AD), ''Karnoũtai'' (Καρνοῦται) by Ptolemy (2nd c. AD), and as ''Carnunta'' in the ''Notitia Dignitatum'' (5th c. AD). The Gaulish ethnonym ''Carnutes'' literally means 'the horned ones', probably in reference to their combat helmets. It stems from the Gaulish root ''carno-'' ('horn'), itself from Proto-Celtic *''karno-'' ('horn, hoof'; cf. Middle Welsh ''carn'' 'hoof'). The name ''Carnutes'' is linguistically related to the Brittonic ''*Kornouii'' and the Welsh ''Kernyw'', designating the Cornwall region. The city of Chart ...
