Sphrageidus Fervida
''Sphrageidus'' is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. It is considered a synonym of the related genus ''Euproctis'' by some authors, but still recognized as valid by others (e.g.), and supported as distinct in molecular phylogenetic studies.Wang, H.

Yellow-tail
The yellow-tail, goldtail moth or swan moth (''Sphrageidus similis'') is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was Species description, first described by Johann Kaspar Füssli in 1775, and has commonly been placed within the related genus ''Euproctis''. It is distributed throughout Europe to the Urals, then east across the Palearctic to Siberia and south to India and Sri Lanka. This species has a wingspan of 35–45 mm, the female usually noticeably larger than the male. All parts of the adults are pure white, apart from a bright yellow tip to the abdomen (larger in the female) and a small black or brown Tornus (insect anatomy), tornal mark on the forewing of the male. Technical description and variation White, and very like ''Brown-tail moth, Euproctis chrysorrhoea'', but more pure silky white, anal wool and hairs at the apex of the abdomen of the female golden yellow. Not rarely, especially in the male sex, color forms occur with small dark spots on the forewing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tussock Moth
The Lymantriinae (formerly called the Lymantriidae) are a subfamily of moths of the family Erebidae. The taxon was erected by George Hampson in 1893. Many of its component species are referred to as "tussock moths" of one sort or another. The caterpillar, or larval, stage of these species often has a distinctive appearance of alternating bristles and haired projections. Many tussock moth caterpillars have urticating hairs (often hidden among longer, softer hairs), which can cause painful reactions if they come into contact with skin. The subfamily Lymantriinae includes about 350 known genera and over 2,500 known species found in every continent except Antarctica. They are particularly concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and South America. One estimate lists 258 species in Madagascar alone.Schaefer, Paul (1989).

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family (biology), 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, footman and wasp moths (Arctiinae (erebid moths), Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth (''Gynaephora groenlandica''); fruit-piercing moths (Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zale (moth), zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, Crambidae, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (around wingspan in the Thysania agrippina, white witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Euproctis
''Euproctis'' is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Species are cosmopolitan, widespread throughout Palearctic, African, Oriental and Australian regions. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently understood comprises a large number of unrelated lineages (i.e., is paraphyletic), only a few of which have names (e.g., the genera '' Kidokuga'' and '' Sphrageidus''), and is therefore in serious need of revision. Description Palpi obliquely porrect (projecting forward), reaching beyond the frons. Antennae bipectinated (comb like on both sides) in both sexes, where branches are long in males each with a spine to keep it in position with regard to the contiguous branch. Mid tibia with one pair of long spurs and hind tibia with two pairs. Female has a large anal tuft. Forewings with veins 3, 4 and 5 from near angle of cell. Vein 6 from or from below upper angle. Veins 7 to 10 are stalked, where vein 10 being given o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Johann Kaspar Füssli
Johann Kaspar Füssli, also written Johann Caspar Fuesslin, or Fuessly (9 March 1743 – 4 May 1786), was a Swiss painter, entomologist and publisher. He was born in Zurich, the son of Johann Caspar Füssli (1706–1782) and Anna Elisabeth Waser. He was thus the brother of Henry Fuseli (Johann Heinrich Füssli, 1745–1825). He married twice: to Verena Störi in 1770, and Anna Elisabeth Kilchsperger in 1774. The only spider species he described (as Fuesslin, 1775) that is accepted is the "daddy long-legs spider", ''Pholcus phalangioides'', also known as the "cellar spider", which he called ''Aranea phalangoides''. ''Aranea longipes'', which he described in the same work, is now considered to be synonym of '' Tegenaria domestica'', first described by Clerck, C. Clerck in 1757. He died, aged 43, in Winterthur Winterthur (; ) is a city in the canton of Zurich in northern Switzerland. With over 120,000 residents, it is the country's List of cities in Switzerland, sixth-larges ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
