Hervé De Toulgoët
Hervé de Toulgoët (28 March 1911 – 14 September 2009) was a French entomologist. He specialised in moths of the families Arctiidae and Zygaenidae. He also studied the beetle genus '' Carabus''. He was written about by Paul Thiaucourt and Jocelyne Navatte. According to Navatte's note, Toulgoët published 179 works. On the genus '' Carabus'', he published a catalogue of the types of the Paris National Museum of Natural History collection. On the Zygaenidae he published a note on some Moroccan species. His other works are mainly on Arctiidae. Taxa Hervé de Toulgoët described 432 new species, and the following 31 genera: * ''Afroarctia'' Toulgoët, 1978 * ''Agaltara'' Toulgoët, 1979 * '' Alepista'' Toulgoët, 1976 * ''Astacosia'' Toulgoët, 1958 * '' Axiopaenella'' Toulgoët, 1956 * '' Bryonola'' Toulgoët, 1955 * '' Coiffaitarctia'' Toulgoët, 1990 * ''Cristulosia'' Toulgoët, 1958 * '' Disparctia'' Toulgoët, 1978 * '' Ennomomima'' Toulgoët, 1990 * '' Eucyanoides'' To ...

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.

Nolidae
Nolidae is a family of moths with about 1,700 described species worldwide. They are mostly small with dull coloration, the main distinguishing feature being a silk cocoon with a vertical exit slit. The group is sometimes known as tuft moths, after the tufts of raised scales on the forewings of two subfamilies, Nolinae and Collomeninae. The larvae also tend to have muted colors and tufts of short hairs. Formerly, this group was included in the Noctuidae.

Species Description
A species description is a formal description of a newly discovered species, usually in the form of a scientific paper. Its purpose is to give a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been described previously or are related. In order for species to be validly described, they need to follow guidelines established over time. Zoological naming requires adherence to the ICZN code, plants, the ICN, viruses ICTV, and so on. The species description often contains photographs or other illustrations of type material along with a note on where they are deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million species have been identified and described, out of some 8.7 million that may actually exist. Millions more have become extinct throughout the existence of life on Earth. Naming process A name of a new species becomes valid (available in zo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Réunion
Réunion (; french: La Réunion, ; previously ''Île Bourbon''; rcf, label= Reunionese Creole, La Rényon) is an island in the Indian Ocean that is an overseas department and region of France.

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 . Wingspan of aircraft The wingspan of an aircraft is always measured in a straight line, from wingtip to wingtip, independently of wing shape or sweep. Implications for aircraft design an ...

Cilaos
Cilaos () is a town and commune on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. It is located centrally on the island, in a caldera of altitude 1,214 m. The caldera (usually known as the 'Cirque') is also named for the community. History The name ''Cilaos'' comes from the Malagasy word, ''Tsilaosa'' (modern form : ''tsy ilaozana''), which means ''the place one does not abandon''. According to some historians , the word ''Cilaos'' finds its origins in the name of a Malagasy slave named ''Tsilaos'' who took refuge in this cirque. At the time, slaves were called "brown", whereas runaway slaves were called "black-brown". The first inhabitants of the cirque of Cilaos were thus "black-browns" who believed themselves to be at the top of the world and completely safe. However, these first runaways were recaptured very quickly, tracked and hunted by well-organized and well-armed slaveholders. In these runaways' attempts to escape recapture, several were killed.

Claude Herbulot (19 February 1908 – 19 January 2006) was a French entomologist. He was born in Charleville-Mézières and died in Paris. He was a lepidopterist and specialised in moths in the family Geometridae. His collection is housed at the Zoologische Staatssammlung München. His life He was born in Charleville-Mézières in 1908 in the Ardennes and his earliest works were on the lepidopteran fauna of the district. Later in his life he visited many afrotropical and oriental countries and spent time in Madagascar studying the fauna and describing about one third of the geometrid species of the island. He was portrayed in his obituary as ::... a nice, clever, cultured person and an active, highly competent lepidopterist. A biography has been published by one of his friends, Philippe Darge. Works His best known works include Volumes I and II (Moths) of the ''Lepidoptera of France, Belgium and Switzerland'' which was published in 1948 and 1949. The list of his 286 works is p ...
