Mesotrophe alienaria is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found on Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra. [2] The habitat consists of lowland areas.
Borneo is the third-largest island in the world and the largest in Asia. At the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, in relation to major Indonesian islands, it is located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra. The island was named after the nation of Brunei.
The flannel moths or crinkled flannel moths are a family of insects. They occur in North America and the New World tropics. The larvae are called puss caterpillars, and with their long hairs, resemble cotton balls. They have venomous spines that can cause a painful sting and inflammation lasting for several days. In some cases, the sting may cause headache, nausea, and shock-like symptoms. Perhaps the most notorious for stinging is the caterpillar of Megalopyge opercularis.
The Drepanidae is a family of moths with about 660 species described worldwide. They are generally divided in three subfamilies which share the same type of hearing organ. Thyatirinae, previously often placed in their own family, bear a superficial resemblance to Noctuidae. Many species in the Drepanid family have a distinctively hook-shaped apex to the forewing, leading to their common name of hook-tips.
The Pyraloidea are a moth superfamily containing about 16,000 described species worldwide, and probably at least as many more remain to be described. They are generally fairly small moths.
The Limacodidae or Euclidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Zygaenoidea or the Cossoidea; the placement is in dispute. They are often called slug moths because their caterpillars bear a distinct resemblance to slugs. They are also called cup moths because of the shape of their cocoons.
Callidulidae, the only known family of the superfamily Calliduloidea, is the family of Old World butterfly-moths, containing eight genera. They have a peculiar distribution, restricted to the Old World tropics of South East Asia to Australasia and Madagascar. The three subfamilies exhibit both day- and night-flying behaviour.
Ennominae is the largest subfamily of the geometer moth family (Geometridae) with some 9,700 described species in 1,100 genera. They are usually a fairly small moths, though some grow to be considerably large. This subfamily has a global distribution. It includes some species that are notorious defoliating pests. The subfamily was first described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845.
Probole is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae, the geometer moths. It is a Nearctic genus distributed throughout Canada and much of the United States.
Mantala is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae. Its single species, Mantala tineoides, is found on Borneo. Both the genus and the species were first described by Francis Walker in 1862. The habitat consists of lowland and lower montane forests.
Cleora injectaria is a moth of the family Geometridae described by Francis Walker in 1860. It is found in the tropical regions of the Indomalayan and Australasian ecozones, up to Fiji and New Caledonia.
Ugia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Francis Walker in 1858.
Oglasa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Cleora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was erected by John Curtis in 1825.
Idiochlora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Warren in 1896.
Asthenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with Eupitheciini in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo.
Abaciscus atmala is a species of moth belonging to the family Geometridae. It was described by Charles Swinhoe in 1894. It is known from the north-eastern Himalaya, Burma, Siberut Island and Borneo.
Lymantriini is a tribe of moths of the family Erebidae. This tribe is a group of polyphagous moths that reside mostly in the tropical regions of Afro-Eurasia but also North America.
Louis Beethoven Prout (1864–1943) was an English entomologist and musicologist.
Cleora alienaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1860. It is found in Sri Lanka, the Indian subregion to the Andaman Islands, Thailand, Sundaland, Taiwan, and Lesser Sundas as far east as Timor and Christmas Island.
Probole alienaria, the alien probole, is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in North America.
