Wittia Sororcula
''Wittia sororcula'', the orange footman, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1766. It is found in Europe, Anatolia and further east across the Palearctic to southern Siberia and the Amur basin to China. Technical description and variation The wingspan is . Forewing with the costa strongly convex and therefore the apical portion of the forewing considerably broader than in the forms of the '' luterella'' group. Head, thorax, end of abdomen and the forewing bright golden yellow, the hindwing of male but little paler; in the female both wings slightly paler orange yellow. In contradistinction to ''lutarella'', the costal area of the hindwing above and beneath is never black.Seitz, A. Ed.

Lithosiina
The Lithosiina are a subtribe of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The taxon was erected by Gustaf Johan Billberg in 1820. Taxonomy The subtribe used to be classified as the tribe Lithosiini of the subfamily Lithosiinae of the family Arctiidae. Genera The following genera are included in the subtribe. *''Aedoea'' *'' Agylla'' *''Apaidia'' *''Apistosia'' *'' Asiapistosia'' *''Atolmis'' *''Blaviodes'' *'' Brunia'' *''Bucsekia'' *'' Calamidia'' *'' Capissa'' *'' Chrysorabdia'' *''Chrysoscota'' *'' Collita'' *'' Crambidia'' *''Cybosia'' *'' Danielithosia'' *'' Denteilema'' *''Dolgoma'' *''Eilema'' *''Euconosia'' *''Gampola'' *''Gandhara'' *''Gardinia'' *'' Ghoria'' *'' Gnamptonychia'' *'' Graphosia'' *''Hesudra'' *'' Hyposhada'' *''Inopsis'' *'' Katha'' *''Lambula'' *''Lambulodes'' *''Lithosia'' *'' Macotasa'' *'' Macrobrochis'' *''Mantala'' *''Manulea'' *'' Microlithosia'' *''Mithuna'' *'' Monosyntaxis'' *''Muscula'' *'' Neosyntaxis'' *''Nishada'' *''Oeonistis'' *''Oeonosia ...

Genus
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 c ...

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] |
