Agenor was in Greek mythology and history a Phoenician king of Tyre or Sidon. The Greek historian Herodotus, born in the city of Halicarnassus under the Achaemenid Empire, estimated that Agenor lived either 1000 or 1600 years prior to his visit to Tyre in 450 BC at the end of the Greco-Persian Wars. He was said to have reigned in that city for 63 years.
Cilix was, according to Greek mythology, a Phoenician prince as the son of King Agenor and Telephassa or Argiope.
Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this.
Hipparchia is a genus of butterflies within the family Nymphalidae. The genus was erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807.
The Pyralinae are the typical subfamily of snout moths and occur essentially worldwide, in some cases aided by involuntary introduction by humans. They are rather rare in the Americas however, and their diversity in the Australian region is also limited. Altogether, this subfamily includes about 900 described species, but new ones continue to be discovered. Like many of their relatives in the superfamily Pyraloidea, the caterpillar larvae of many Pyralinae – and in some cases even the adults – have evolved the ability to use unusual foods for nutrition; a few of these can become harmful to humans as pests of stored goods.
Drepaninae are by far the largest subfamily of the Drepanidae moths. While it is usually split into two tribes, Drepanini and Oretini, its internal systematics and phylogeny are not well resolved.
Eulamprotes is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae.
Cilix glaucata, the Chinese character, is a moth of the family Drepanidae. It was first described by the Italian physician and naturalist, Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in his 1763 Entomologia Carniolica. It is found in Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa.
Eilema lutarella is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It is found in North Africa through Central Europe up to the area surrounding the Amur River and Sakhalin. In the north, it is found up to Scandinavia, Komi Republic in European Russia, Vitim river in Siberia.
Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
Cilix is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae. The genus was erected by Leach in 1815.
Hypsopygia is a genus of moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Though fairly small, they are large among their relatives. It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Maradana is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Frederic Moore in 1884.
Cilix asiatica is a species of moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Otto Bang-Haas in 1907. It is found in Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Greece, the eastern parts of Turkey, Israel and Lebanon. The habitat consists of xerothermic woodland.
Cilix depalpata is a moth in the family Drepanidae first described by Strand in 1911. It is found in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Cilix hispanica is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It is found in Portugal, Spain, southern France, Italy and North Africa.
Scopariinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. The subfamily was described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
