Miacora is a genus of moths in the family Cossidae.
In geology and mineralogy, a mineral or mineral species is, broadly speaking, a solid chemical compound with a fairly well-defined chemical composition and a specific crystal structure that occurs naturally in pure form.
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta, as well as genetic analyses.
Cisthene is a genus of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Argyria is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Diatraea is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
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.
Petrophila is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Lansdown Guilding in 1830.
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.
Anomis is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Eulepidotis is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. was an American entomologist after whom a pattern of geometric progression in the growth of insect parts is named - Dyar's Law. He was also noted for eccentric pursuits which included digging tunnels under his home. He had a complicated personal life and along with his second wife he adopted the Baháʼi faith.
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths. They are primarily Neotropical and include about 400 described species.
The Dyar site (9GE5) is an archaeological site in Greene County, Georgia, in the north central Piedmont physiographical region. The site covers an area of 2.5 hectares. It was inhabited almost continuously from 1100 to 1600 by a local variation of the Mississippian culture known as the South Appalachian Mississippian culture. Although submerged under Lake Oconee, the site is still important as one of the first explorations of a large Mississippian culture mound. The Dyar site is thought to have been one of the principal towns of the paramount chiefdom of Ocute, perhaps Cofaqui.
Apatelodes is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae first described by Packard in 1864.
Miacora adolescens is a moth in the family Cossidae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. It is found in Panama.
Miacora diphyes is a moth in the family Cossidae. It was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1942. It is found in Panama.
Miacora tropicalis is a moth in the family Cossidae. It was described by Schaus in 1904. It is found in Guyana.
Givira is a genus of moths in 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.
Acraga is a genus of moths of the family Dalceridae.
