About: Ourapterygini

An Entity of Type: ethnic group, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Ourapterygini are one of the large tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. The tribe was described by Charles Théophile Bruand d'Uzelle in 1846. They are particularly plentiful in the Neotropics. Ourapterygini are generally held to be the youngest tribe of their subfamily, and at least seasonally have characteristic apomorphic asymmetrical processes of the anellus.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Ourapterygini es una tribu de lepidópteros geométridos caracterizados por ser en su mayoría de hábitos parcialmente diurnos y de poca tendencia a la cripsis, más bien a ser de coloraciones claras (en contraste con el resto de geométridos). Se conoce que algunas especies son nocivas para los depredadores, lo cual supone que su coloración es aposemática. (es)
  • The Ourapterygini are one of the large tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. The tribe was described by Charles Théophile Bruand d'Uzelle in 1846. They are particularly plentiful in the Neotropics. Ourapterygini are generally held to be the youngest tribe of their subfamily, and at least seasonally have characteristic apomorphic asymmetrical processes of the anellus. Many members of this tribe are remarkably butterfly like. The tribe contains more partially diurnal species than usual for geometer moths, and many do not have the cryptic coloration typical for the family. There is a tendency to light yellowish hues and either little or a quite bold pattern, making some species rather conspicuous. It is known that at least some are noxious to predators, and such coloration might be aposematic. (en)
