Microcalicha minima is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by the English entomologist William Warren in 1896. [1]

It is a small dark brown moth, similar in appearance to Lophobates mesotoechia but it has pale fawn and brown patches subapically at the costa of the forewing between the postmedial and submarginal, and tornus on the hindwing.
It occurs in Borneo, Sumatra, and the north-eastern Himalayas. [1]
Idaea, sometimes called Hyriogona, is a large genus of geometer moths. It was erected by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1825. They are found nearly worldwide, with many native to the Mediterranean, the African savannas, and the deserts of western Asia.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,132 described species in 340 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
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.
Though small in absolute diversity of genera, the Hemitheini are nonetheless the largest tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Geometrinae. Like most Geometrinae, they are small greenish "emerald moths". The tribe was first described by Charles Théophile Bruand d'Uzelle in 1846.
Orthonama obstipata, the gem, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. It is a cosmopolitan species. In continental Europe though in the northeast, its range does not significantly extend beyond the Baltic region and it is absent from northern Russia. This well-flying species is prone to vagrancy and able to cross considerable distances of open sea; it can thus be regularly found on the British Isles and even on Iceland.
Diplopseustis is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Lathrotelinae of the family Crambidae. It was described in 1884 be Edward Meyrick with Cymoriza minimaButler, 1881 as its type species, which is now considered a synonym of Diplopseustis perieresalis.
Merodictya is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by William Warren in 1896. It contains only one species, Merodictya marmorata, described by Thomas Pennington Lucas in 1892, which is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales.
Ramila is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Microcalicha is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Sato in 1981.
Synegia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1857.
Eupitheciini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae, often referred to as pugs. The tribe was described by Tutt in 1896.
Salvinia minima is a species of aquatic, floating fern that grows on the surface of still waterways. It is usually referred to as common salvinia or water spangles. Salvinia minima is native to South America, Mesoamerica, and the West Indies and was introduced to the United States in the 1920s-1930s. It is classified as an invasive species internationally and can be detrimental to native ecosystems. This species is similar to but should not be confused with giant salvinia, Salvinia molesta.
Scopula consimilata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Warren in 1896. It is found in India.
Pingasa angulifera is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by William Warren in 1896. It is found in Queensland, Australia.
Agathiopsis maculata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found on New Guinea and Australia (Queensland).
Schoenobiinae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. The subfamily was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1846.
Parotis incurvata is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896. It is found in Indonesia (Java), on the Loyalty Islands and in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales.
Rhectothyris rosea is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896. It is found in Assam, India and Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
Oreta jaspidea is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896. It is found on Buru, the Key Islands, New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Louisiade Archipelago, Australia (Queensland) and the Solomon Islands.
