Pedoptila Thaletes
''Pedoptila thaletes'' is a moth in the family Himantopteridae. It was described by Herbert Druce in 1907. It is found in the Republic of the Congo The Republic of the Congo (french: République du Congo, ln, Republíki ya Kongó), also known as Congo-Brazzaville, the Congo Republic or simply either Congo or the Congo, is a country located in the western coast of Central Africa to the w ... and Cameroon.

The hindwings are reddish orange as far as the lobe, which is black almost to the end of the wing. The tip of the tail is white.Druce, H.

The forewings have the upper discocellular as long as the middle one, more oblique than in other species and scarcely angled at vein 6. The basal yellow area is broader costally than in '' Pedoptila catori'' and its outer edge is concave. The hindwings are as in ''P. catori'', but the tail is black and not fringed with whitish as in that species. The body and appendages are as in ''P. catori'', but with the difference that the frons is black, the tarsi are black, and the anal tuft is blackish brown.

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The head, thorax and abdomen are blackish, covered with fine deep orange hairs. The forewings have the basal half of the wings up to the end of the cell yellow, the outer portion is entirely dark sooty grey.

Genus (biology)
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus '' Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should clearly ...

Moths
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.
