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.

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings (''Catocala''); litter moths ( Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths ( Arctiinae); tussock moths ( Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth ('' Gynaephora groenlandica''); piercing moths (Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths ( Micronoctuini); snout moths ( Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (> wingspan in the black witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adults spans the full range of dull, drab, and camouflaged (e.g., '' Zale lunifera'' and litter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
