Scientific career Hübner was the author of ''Sammlung Europäischer Schmetterlinge'' (1796–1805), a founding work of entomology. He was one of the first specialists to work on the European Lepidoptera. He described many new species, for example ''Sesia bembeciformis'' and ''Euchloe tagis'', many of them common. He also described many new genus, genera. He was a designer and engraver and from 1786 he worked for three years as a designer and engraver at a cotton factory in Ukraine. There he collected Butterfly, butterflies and moths including descriptions and illustrations of some in ''Beiträge zur Geschichte der Schmetterlinge'' (1786–1790) along with other new species from the countryside around his home in Augsburg. Hübner's masterwork "Tentamen" was intended as a discussion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Platyja Umminia
''Platyja umminia'' is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1780. It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics of China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar to New Guinea and Queensland. It is also present on Guam. Adults have been recorded piercing fruit in Thailand and Guam. Description Its wingspan is about 48–60 mm. Male has bipectinate antennae with short branches. Mid and hindleg with tufts of very long hair from the femur-tibial joint. Body olivaceous red-brown. Forewings with a few grey specks. An antemedial obliquely waved dark line present. Orbicular small and dark. Reniform with dark outline. There is a postmedial crenulate line, highly excurved beyond the cell and then bent inwards to below middle of cell above two dark-edged marks, which in the female are filled in with ochreous, chestnut or white and with some chestnut rings or spots. A dark streak from apex, with some grey below it. Hindwings with crenulate postmedial li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platyja Umbrina
''Platyja umbrina'' is a species of noctuoid moth of the family Erebidae. Subspecies *''Platyja umbrina umbrina'' *''Platyja umbrina rufiscripta'' (Sundaland) Characteristics There is a significant sexual dimorphism between the male and the female moths of this species. The wings are highly modified in the males. The abdomen extends well beyond the hindwings and has a conspicuous black tuft apically that arises from the valves of the genitalia. The wings are a uniform dark brown above, sometimes grade slightly paler at the margin, but rarely with the blue irroration of the typical mainland Asian race. The females are more typical of the genus in facies, with the strongly looped postmedial much more clearly delineated on the forewing, and with conspicuous, more or less straight submarginals that delimit a paler marginal zone. There is some variation, with uniform brown forms, and more variegated ones with extensive ochreous areas marginally and between the antemedial and submargi ...
