Lithosiinae

(Subfamily)

Overview

[ Back to top ]

The Lithosiinae (lichen moths) are a subfamily of moths.

The systematics of the Lithosiinae are in need of revision. For example, the proposed tribes Afridini, Cisthenini, Endrosini and Eudesmini require validation and delimitation of content. The arrangement followed here is based on the preliminary consensus list of Savela (2007).

Lithosiinae incertae sedis

Most genera have not been robustly assigned to a tribe yet. These genera incertae sedis are:

Agylla

Caere (also Caisra and Cisra) is the Latin name given by the Romans to one of the larger cities of Southern Etruria, the modern Cerveteri, approximately 50-60 kilometres north-northwest of Rome. To the Etruscans it was known as Cisra and to the Greeks as Agylla. It was bounded by the two rivers and Manganello, and lay 80 metres above sea level on an outcrop of rocky tuff, a few kilometers from the coast. [more]

Angelus

The Angelus (Latin for "angel") is a Christian devotion in memory of the Incarnation. The name Angelus is derived from the opening words: Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mari? ("... the Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary ...") and is practised by reciting as versicle and response three Biblical verses describing the mystery; alternating with the salutation "Hail Mary!" The Angelus exemplifies a species of prayers called the prayer of the devotee. [more]

Asura

In Hinduism, the Asuras (Sanskrit: ) are a group of power-seeking deities, sometimes considered sinful and materialistic. The Daityas and Danavas together are Asuras. The Asura were opposed to the Devas. Both groups are children of Kasyapa. However, in early Vedic religion, both the Asura and the Devas were deities who constantly competed with each other, some bearing both designations at the same time. Asura is cognate with Ahura. The Oxford English Dictionary recognizes the use of the term in reference to Zoroastrianism where Ahura would perhaps be more appropriate. [more]
