Bepea is a moth genus in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. [1]
The name Bepea is a replacement name, or nomen novum, proposed by Koçak & Kemal in 2007. [2] The new name was necessary because the previous genus name, Notesia Yamanaka, 1992, was a junior homonym of Notesia Casey, 1922, a genus of weevils. [3] Notesia Yamanaka, 1992, however, was also a replacement name, as the original name of the genus, Notaspis Warren, 1892, was a junior homonym of the mite genus Notaspis Hermann, 1804. [4]
The genus currently comprises two species: the type species, Bepea tranquillalis, was described by Julius Lederer in 1863. It is found in Indonesia, [1] Papua New Guinea [5] and Taiwan. A second species, Bepea pyraustalis, was transferred to the genus by Koçak & Kemal (2007). [2] It was described by Embrik Strand in 1918 in the genus Calamochrous based on specimens collected in Kankau and Kosempo on Taiwan. [1]
Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes about 1,280 species Most of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
The Cossinae are the nominate subfamily of the Cossidae. The caterpillars of several Cossinae species, such as the carpenterworm and the goat moth, are significant pests. On the other hand, in Chile the caterpillars of the Chilean moth are collected on a commercial scale for sale as fishing bait and terrarium pet food; they are usually called "butterworms" in international trade.
The Pyralini are a tribe of snout moths described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809. They belong to the subfamily Pyralinae, which contains the "typical" snout moths of the Old World and some other regions. The genus list presented here is provisional.
Agriphila is a genus of small moths of the family Crambidae. It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1825. They are common across temperate Eurasia and in adjacent regions.
Lipararchis is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Nuritamburia is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.
The subfamily Emarginulinae, common name keyhole limpets and slit limpets, is a taxonomic subfamily of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. More than 720 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
Gouxia danielaferreroae is a species of mealybug that lives in France. It was placed in a monotypic genus by Lucien Goux in 1989, but the genus name he used, Giraudia, was a junior homonym of at least two other animal genera. The genus was renamed Gouxia in his honour in 2009.
Eupithecia zekiyae is a species of moth in the family Geometridae first described by McDunnough (1946), although the authorship of the currently valid species name is Koçak, 1986.
The Zeuzerinae are a subfamily of the family Cossidae.
The Catoptinae are a subfamily of the family Cossidae.
Chiangmaiana is a genus of the family Cossidae.
Glaphyriinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1923. The subfamily currently comprises 509 species in 75 genera.
Seycellesa is a genus of spiders in the family Theridiidae. It consists of only its type species: Seycellesa braueri, which is endangered and endemic to the Seychelles.
Papuellicesa is a genus of flies belonging to the family Sphaeroceridae. it contains a single species, Papuellicesa scrobifera, which is native to New Guinea. It formerly named Papuella, but this was a junior homonym of a genus of beetle.
Agroterini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Alexandre Noël Charles Acloque in 1897.
Margaroniini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Charles Swinhoe and Everard Charles Cotes in 1889, originally as family Margaronidae.
