Tinea Flavifrontella
''Agnoea flavifrontella'' is a species of Gelechioidea, gelechioid moths in the family Lypusidae. Taxonomy In the systematics, systematic layout used here, it is placed within the subfamily Amphisbatinae of the concealer moth family (biology), family (Oecophoridae). The Amphisbatinae have alternatively been merged into the Oecophorinae, raised to full family rank, or placed as a subgroup of the Depressariinae (or Depressariidae if ranked as family). ''A. flavifrontella'' was first scientifically described by Michael Denis, M. Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller, I. Schiffermüller in 1775. For quite some time however, its description was erroneously attributed to Jacob Hübner, J. Hübner in 1801. This species was formerly a member of the genus ''Pseudatemelia'', but recent research has resulted in the transfer of all ''Pseudatemelia'' species to the genus ''Agnoea''. Distribution and habitat This species can be found in Europe, where it inhabits woodlands, and in the Near East. At ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Junior Homonym
In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon. The rule in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is that the first such name to be published is the senior homonym and is to be used (it is " valid"); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names. It is, however, possible that if a senior homonym is archaic, and not in "prevailing usage," it may be declared a '' nomen oblitum'' and rendered unavailable, while the junior homonym is preserved as a '' nomen protectum''. :For example: :* Cuvier proposed the genus ''Echidna'' in 1797 for the spiny anteater. :*However, Forster had already published the name ''Echidna'' in 1777 for a genus of moray eels. :*Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym. :* Illiger published the replacement name ''Tachyglossus'' in 1811.
