Nepticulidae is a family of very small moths with a worldwide distribution. They are characterised by eyecaps over the eyes. These pigmy moths or midget moths, as they are commonly known, include the smallest of all living moths, with a wingspan that can be as little as 3 mm in the case of the European pigmy sorrel moth, but more usually 3.5–10 mm. The wings of adult moths are narrow and lanceolate, sometimes with metallic markings, and with the venation very simplified compared to most other moths.
The Thyrididae comprise the family of picture-winged leaf moths. They are the only family in the superfamily Thyridoidea, which sometimes has been included in the Pyraloidea, but this isn't supported by cladistic analysis.
Arthur William Baden Powell was a New Zealand malacologist, naturalist and palaeontologist, a major influence in the study and classification of New Zealand molluscs through much of the 20th century. He was known to his friends and family by his third name, "Baden".
Ernest Edward Austen DSO was an English entomologist specialising in Diptera and Hymenoptera.
Mark Wayne Chase is a US-born British botanist. He is noted for work in plant classification and evolution, and one of the instigators of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group-classification for flowering plants which is partly based on DNA studies. In particular he has researched orchids, and currently investigates ploidy and hybridization in Nicotiana.
Winston Frank Ponder is a malacologist born and educated in New Zealand who has named and described many marine and freshwater animals, especially micromolluscs.
Abareia is a monotypic moth genus belonging to the family Pyralidae. It was described by Paul E. S. Whalley in 1970. It contains only one species, Abareia amaurodes, described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1947, which is found in Australia.
Archaeolepis mane is amongst the earliest undisputed lepidopteran fossils. It dates from the Lower Jurassic. It was found in the Charmouth Mudstone Formation, Dorset, United Kingdom.
Aphomia argentia is a species of snout moth in the genus Aphomia. It was described by Paul Whalley in 1964, and is known from Zambia.
Cristia is a genus of snout moths. It was described in 1964 by Paul E.S. Whalley, who, in the same article also described the species C. sericeana which is known from New Guinea.
Endosimilis is a monotypic snout moth genus described by Paul Ernest Sutton Whalley in 1961. Its only species, E. stilbealis, was described by Francis Walker in 1859 as Pyralis stilbealis. It is found in Australia.
Cornuterus is a genus of moths of the family Thyrididae.
The Charmouth Mudstone Formation is a geological formation in England, dating to the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian–Pliensbachian). It forms part of the lower Lias Group. It is most prominently exposed at its type locality in cliff section between Lyme Regis and Charmouth but onshore it extends northwards to Market Weighton, Yorkshire, and in the subsurface of the East Midlands Shelf and Wessex Basin. The formation is notable for its fossils, including those of ammonites and marine reptiles and rare dinosaur remains. The formation played a prominent role in the history of early paleontology, with its Lyme Regis-Charmouth exposure being frequented by fossil collectors including Mary Anning.
Gintaras Kantvilas is an Australian lichenologist, who earned his Ph.D in 1985 from the University of Tasmania with a thesis entitled Studies on Tasmanian rainforest lichens. He has authored over 432 species names, and 167 genera in the field of mycology.
Wolfgang Siegfried Karg (1927–2016) was an East German entomologist who specialised in mites (Acari).
Phyllis Jane Fromont is a New Zealand and Australian scientist specialising in sponges.
Laurence Alfred Mound is an entomologist, who works mostly on the biology and systematics of Thysanoptera (thrips), an area in which he is considered a world authority.
Erik Bertelsen was a Danish ichthyologist, who specialised in deep sea fish. The fish, Diaphus bertelseniNafpaktitis, 1966 is named in his honour.
James Kenneth Lowry was a zoologist specialising in amphipods.
