Identification of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths)

Nikolay, why do you need to define butterflies? You post photos of butterflies that can't be identified from the photo before the species, in most cases. Fingerflies are quite well defined by the preparations of the genitals, according to such photos (the quality is average), without dimensions (with dimensions, it is also difficult, but it can narrow the number of options), it is possible only approximately to the genus. You can reply in PM.

sps for a thorough answer.

Orenburg on July 7, 2016 on light.

Something like this:
1, 2, 5-Emmelina ?monodactyla
3 - ?Hellinsia sp.
4 - Oxyptilus sp. or something close.

I assume that the upper one is Brabira artemidora (Oberthur, 1884), 08.06.2016?
I ask for help in determining the second type-18 and 24.06.2016

On the left I would say it is:

But, without any guarantees-it's a very shabby butterfly. The shape of the wings is the closest I can remember.

And on the right, it's almost certainly:

Gentlemen, hello!
I have a profane question for you. I have never collected butterflies, I was interested in them from a purely aesthetic point of view on the subject of weaving a beautiful butterfly from beads. When there were several dozen pretty ones, I wanted to find out more about those from whom they were drawn and intertwined. With those butterflies that I photographed at exhibitions or whose photos with names I took on the Internet, everything is more or less clear.
But one day I came across a German website with beautiful images of butterflies of the world http://www.planetposter.de/schmetterlinge-w/afrika.htm I happily saved myself butterflies from there and, quite satisfied with the presence of a Latin name and habitat there, I wove a bunch of insects. And then it turned out that, to put it mildly, not all the butterflies depicted there look and are called as indicated.
The worst thing happened with the butterfly named Ceratopacha koellikeri and depicted like this It
turned out that butterflies of the genus Ceratopacha really exist. The genus was described by James Francis Stephens in 1829 and 1850, but the same, according to Wikipedia, genus was in 1816 was described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer as Tethea.
But among the many species of this genus http://www.wikiwand.com/sv/Tethea koellikeri is not listed. And these butterflies do not even look so bright (I have already made sure that the artist who depicted butterflies for these posters clearly embellished nature). And many of them are generally European.
In general, the survey: do you know if such an insect exists in nature, and how to find it?
And, of course, I apologize for my deep dilettantism. Thanks!

Gentlemen, hello!

The moth genus Tethea (in its current systematic position, rather than according to its original description) is widespread in Europe and, in particular, in the Moscow region. It includes the so-called naz. sovkovidki, or puhospinki. With the African, which is in the picture, this genus certainly has nothing in common. It is difficult to know what kind of butterfly it is, and there are hardly any experts on the Congo and Zaire. In general, the African fauna, to put it mildly, is poorly reflected, at least on network resources. I would refer this butterfly to the erebids (Erebidae), close to scoops, but it can be a moth, or anything else.

Thank you very much!
By the way, it's an idea to search directly on African - butterfly sites. Thank you again!

Polyommatus coridon?
Saratov region, Volsky district. A clearing near the forest. July.

Gentlemen, hello!

  

This is the cocoonworm Eucraera koellikerii (Dewitz, 1881)
In the original Dewitz H. 1881. Afrikanische Nachtschmetterlinge. it looked like this:
[attachmentid()=276943]

The butterfly:
[attachmentid()=276951]

The author (s) of the poster honestly admit that they stole the picture from Seitz, which, I think, is not much different from the original Devitz. Apparently they decided that the picture faded and it should be tinted as a result, and a similar greenish acid was obtained.

I will add that if you really need acid, and realistic and remotely similar to what is in the photo, you can refer to the genus Iotaphora))

Vlad, we seem to have two butterflies of this genus, but where, how and when to get them?

Well, yes, this one and festivella. Both are very rare, I didn't come across them. In this caterpillar, chinas and other legumes live in beans.

The upper butterfly is similar to Nemacerota suzukiana of Thyatirinae. But I may be wrong: -)

Another batch of butterflies from Grodno, Belarus. Dates of capture and dimensions: 1-15.06, wingspan 2.4 cm; 2 - 26.06, wingspan 1.8 cm; 3-02.06, wingspan 2.2 cm; 4-27.06, wingspan 2.5 cm; 5-10.07, wingspan 1.8 cm.
