Synpalamides chelone is a moth of the Castniidae family. It is known from Mexico. [1]
Apodemia is a New World genus of metalmark butterflies found from Canada to Brazil.
Sesioidea is a superfamily containing clearwing moths (Sesiidae), castniid moths (Castniidae) and little bear moths (Brachodidae). There is evidence from head and thoracic morphology that the first two families, internally feeding in plants as caterpillars, are sisters, whilst some brachodids are known to feed on leaf surfaces. Sesioidea is closely related to Cossoidea, which contains the also internal-feeding Goat and Leopard moths, and recent taxonomic treatments consider the sessoid families as part of Cossoidea sensu lato.
Castniidae, or castniid moths, is a small family of moths with fewer than 200 species: The majority are Neotropical with some in Australia and a few in south-east Asia. These are medium-sized to very large moths, usually with drab, cryptically marked forewings and brightly coloured hindwings. They have clubbed antennae and are day flying, and are often mistaken for butterflies. Indeed, some previous classification systems placed this family within the butterflies or skippers. The Neotropical species are commonly known as giant butterfly-moths, the Australian and Asian species as sun moths. The larvae are internal feeders, often on roots of epiphytes or on monocotyledons.
Riodininae is the largest of the three subfamilies within the metalmark butterfly family, Riodinidae.
Xanthonia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in North and Central America, and in East, Southeast and South Asia.
Castnia juturna is a moth of the Castniidae family. It is known from Brazil and Paraguay.
Imara analibiae is a moth in the Castniidae family. It is found in the forest of the Estación Biológica La Selva, near Puerto Viejo, Sarapiquí, Heredia Province in Costa Rica. The habitat consists of a mosaic of mature lowland forest, secondary growth forest of various ages and abandoned pastures.
Hista fabricii is a moth in the Castniidae family. It is found in Brazil. It mainly occurs in the southern and south-eastern parts of the country, in areas of the Atlantic Forest.
Hista hegemon is a moth in the Castniidae family. It is found in south-eastern Brazil.
Scaphoideini is a tribe of leafhoppers. There are 64 genera and over 600 described species in Scaphoideini.
Xanthonia furcata is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America. It is associated with wild cherry and oaks. The specific name comes from the Latin furca, meaning "fork".
Xanthonia dentata is a species of leaf beetle. Its range spans Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, and possibly Kansas. It is associated with oaks.
Curvie emesia, the curve-winged metalmark, is a species of metalmark in the butterfly family Riodinidae. It is found in North America.
Apodemia zela, the zela metalmark, is a species of metalmark in the butterfly family Riodinidae. It is found in North America.
Xanthonia angulata is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America. It is associated with oaks. The specific name comes from the Latin angulatus, meaning "with angles".
Eucinetus is a genus of plate-thigh beetles in the family Eucinetidae. There are at least four described species in Eucinetus.
Apodemia ares, the ares metalmark, is a species of metalmark in the butterfly family Riodinidae. It is found in North America.
Xanthonia villosula is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. It is associated with numerous woody plants including oaks.
Xanthonia vagans is a species of leaf beetle. Its range spans from Central Texas to Sonora, Mexico. It is associated with junipers.
The Paraleucopidae are a family of Acalyptratae flies first elevated to family level in 2019. Their placement within the acalyptrataes is uncertain. Based on morphological evidence, they have been proposed to belong to the suprafamily Asteioinea within superfamily Opomyzoidea. However, transcriptomic data suggest they may instead belong to the superfamily Sphaeroceroidea. The clade includes the genera Paraleucopis, Mallochianamyia and Schizostomyia from the New World and undescribed species from Australia.
