Well, so be it :)

Why can not it be? There is a code of Russian names? Vasily, do not bother :), for those who can not use the Latin, is the same butterfly :)

But one kind of two butterflies with Russian name "purple moth" can not be.
This http://lepidoptera.ru/taxonomy/5604 earned it by law (where it was not, I drove recently) it is quite "officially" and is present on many websites.
But L. cruentaria why so called? It is better and more useful here to leave one Latin.

As already discussed. There is no right or wrong of Russian names ...

04.05.2014 4:34, Vasiliy Feoktistov

I add. Better then to call it "bloody moth" (sometimes called) but not the "Purple".
In fact, many sources where there are both types it does not have Russian names, and "Purple" has calledLythria purpuraria, I believe it.
Feeling: Oh, and the meat even with these Russian names.Can remove them all?
All stand it no longer clog up the page view. Just when their weights noticed :)

A more suitable to cruentaria "stained" (translated from Latin) :)

03.05.2014 9:45, Vasiliy Feoktistov

Russian name "purple moth" is removed. There is another kind of Lythria purpuraria (Linnaeus, 1758) is the Latin name itself suggests that it is better to call it in Russian (and do it now).
And then the "purple moth" "neither here nor there" :)
