Gabriel Dumont (1837–1906) was a Canadian political figure best known for being a prominent leader of the Métis people. Dumont was well known for his movements within the North-West Rebellion at the battles of Batoche, Fish Creek, and Duck Lake as well as for his role in the signing of treaties with the Blackfoot tribe, the traditional main enemy of the Métis.
The Satyrinae, the satyrines or satyrids, commonly known as the browns, are a subfamily of the Nymphalidae. They were formerly considered a distinct family, Satyridae. This group contains nearly half of the known diversity of brush-footed butterflies. The true number of the Satyrinae species is estimated to exceed 2400.
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first. They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths", for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales. There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus Thambotricha from New Zealand may be the sister group of all other extant members. The most important genera are Epermenia, Ochromolopis and Gnathifera. The group has been extensively revised and catalogued by Dr Reinhard Gaedike.
The Lecithoceridae, or long-horned moths, are a family of small moths described by Simon Le Marchand in 1947. Although lecithocerids are found throughout the world, the great majority are found in the Indomalayan realm and the southern part of the Palaearctic realm.
Tahla is a monotypic moth genus in the family Gelechiidae. Its only species, Tahla zadiella, is found in Tunisia. Both the genus and the species were first described by Constantin Dumont in 1932.
Cigaritis is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in the Afrotropical realm, the Indomalayan realm and adjacent regions of Asia.
Aegilia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Anumeta is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Bellura is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Drasteria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Mesaegle is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Mesaegle gouzzakouli, is found in Algeria. Both the genus and species were first described by Constantin Dumont in 1922.
Leucoblepsis is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae. The genus was erected by William Warren in 1922.
Phalacra is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1866.
Eupitheciini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae, often referred to as pugs. The tribe was described by Tutt in 1896.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Almost 600 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.
Elymnias agondas, the palmfly, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1832. It is endemic to New Guinea and neighbouring Cape York in the Australasian realm.
Elymnias ceryx is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1836. It is found in the Indomalayan realm.
Idea durvillei is a large butterfly that belongs to the danaid group of the family Nymphalidae. It was described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1832. It is found in the Australasian realm. The name honours Jules Dumont d'Urville.
