Moth Group of mostly-nocturnal insects in the order Lepidoptera

Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths, and 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.

Joseph de Joannis was a French clergyman and amateur entomologist. De Joannis was the president of the Société entomologique de France in 1908 and 1916. His father Léon-Daniel de Joannis (1803–1868) was also an entomologist and an ichthyologist.
