Sometimes it is a pity for a person to throw out he gives a thing to another.

Today I heard 2 stories again:
1) recently, Japanese grant-takers described a new genus and species of the scatophagid fly! And proved by genetic analysis. And the photo shows a fly from the Psylidae family.
2) and the Egyptian characters described a new type of humpback-megaselia, a small one, 2 millimeters, and in the photo the female sarcophagi ((Who knows, he understands; 0)

Yes, I've seen it in mantises a couple of times, too. Once the Pakistanis missed with the family, while "defining" a complex genus right up to the species (but at least they did not describe it, only they did not add it to the fauna), the second time - the Indians also made a mistake with the family, this time describing a new species (I don't know how they managed - those the same level of authors is usually quite high, compared to, well, with the same Chinese). In both cases, the confused taxa are similar only habitually, and even then only remotely.
Alas, all this is not funny...

anyone who knows the crepuscular pinwheel will see a representative of the genus Gyrinus in the photo. wink.gif

Two quotes from the attached link:

I hasten to disappoint you: this is a bumblebee butterfly (Paul neta shoveled for this)

Come on, what's a bumblebee? This is the second year we've been hunting for them with a camera! There weren't many of them in Sudak that year, but this one ... just a bunch.
Tell me how to attach photos! We have several photos where it is really visible.
This is 100% hummingbird.

History repeats itself...

This is just a common illustration of what a delusion is and how it works with the crowd's assent. Clearly demonstrates that people involved in the" system " can begin to speak black and white, only the opinions of the authoritative majority are enough) It is especially interesting to see timid attempts to express an opinion that this is a butterfly, and then a change of opinion under the pressure of the "crowd", cool)

Genre: Encyclopedia
Publisher: Swallowtail

Translated from English. Vladimir Svechnikov

It meant the butterfly Sailboat antimachus (Latin Papilio antimachus). Only here it is not named after Drew Drury, he is just an lmc who first described this species.

The picture does not correspond to reality - it shows a large mother-of-pearl ( Argynnis paphia) , which firstly belongs to the family of Nymphalids, and not sailboats, and secondly in Africa it lives only in Algeria, and otherwise is widely distributed in the temperate zone throughout Eurasia. Secondly, the wingspan of the true antimachus is on average far beyond the specified 12 cm, and is 18-23 cm, judging by the literature sources up to a maximum of 25 cm.

It is not a fact that in this case the mistakes will be corrected. I tried several times to get in touch with such sites. Either my requests were left unanswered, or no corrections were made.

I understand that this is not a fact, but it is also impossible to remain silent. Otherwise, we write "purely for ourselves". Pointlessly, it turns out.

DYNASTES, I don't think you should find too much fault with this case. The good thing is that young children will generally know that there are leafhoppers, praying mantises and goliaths.

It's a good thing that my first book about nature was "Butterflies. A miracle in the palm of your hand. Flowers". This is what I understand - a real clear, beautiful and correct book for children. There, the names were correct, and insects were separated from non-insects. I knew it by heart as a child.


And on Tuesday, I visited the Museum of Nature in Kherson at the "Exhibition of live butterflies and other insects", and it sold various souvenirs with insects: key chains, refrigerator magnets, photos. Personally, I was interested in the photo of this "tropical" butterfly:

In this book, the family of butterflies, which bears the well-established name of golubyanka in Russian, was called urticaria.

Error in defining up to a family

Oleg, thank you for your comment.
I saw it and didn't fight it the way I couldn't find it. Up to the genus at least-can it be somehow?
There are many similar ones (the author is "imported") .
I'll add it. What to do with by this?

This beetle, although it has glow organs on its body, but it is not a relative of firefly beetles and belongs to the family of nutcrackers. In Russian, the genus of these "glowing" beetles has a well-established name-Fire-eating nutcrackers-Pyrophorus.
