		The ecological and biogeographic representation of Bornean Drepanidae and Uraniidae
		In both groups species of lowland forests predominate, though the Uraniidae have a slightly higher proportion of montane species (29% to 19%), and the Drepanidae have many species ranging from the lowlands to montane zones (23%).
		The Uraniidae also include more endemics and more geographically widespread species: over half the Drepanidae are restricted to Sundaland but occur in areas additional to Borneo.

	Moths of Borneo (Part 8) Castniidae, Callidulidae, Drepanidae & Uraniidae - Books - Travel Centre - www.wildasia.net
		The moth groups covered in this part of the Moths of Borneo are, with the exception of the Castniidae, closely related to the Callidulidae, possible sister group to theDrepanoidea or included in the Geometroidea.
		The cyclidiine Drepanidae are restricted to the Oriental Region, and the Auzeinae and Microniinae of the Uraniidae are only found in the Old World tropics.
		The thyatirine Drepanidae are strongly centred in the Oriental tropics and subtropics, with some of the more species-rich genera extending into the Palaearctic and the New World (Werny, 1966) and there are outlying genera in Africa (Watson, 1965b; Lane, 1973), Australia (Scoble & Edwards, 1988) and New Guinea (Werny, 1966).

	TX-BUTTERFLY archives -- November 2003 (#55)
		With the recent report of Urania fulgens, that cool swallowtail-like moth, I thought I might pass this along.
		The width, placement, and even number of greenish stripes varies from left to right sides; the shapes and positions of the greenish splotches along the hindwing margins vary from left to right sides, etc. etc....
		In fact, all members of the genus Urania, and indeed, all members of the family Uraniidae have asymmetrical wing markings (even the non-metallic species), in the exact details of the placement and composition of wing markings, though at a quick glance, they appear symmetrical like almost all other normally-developed Leps.

		The data set is not well suited for an assessment of the position of the butterflies amongst other Lepidoptera.
		Nevertheless, of the moths used, Macrosoma (Hedylidae, Hedyloidea) and Urania (Uraniidae, Geometroidea) appear to be the closest relatives of the butterflies.
		With regard to the higher classification of the butterflies many problems thus remain, and several ways to tackle these are discussed.

	The Moths of Canada
		The superfamily Geometroidea includes the family Geometridae (Inchworm, Spanworm or Looper Moths), and the family Uraniidae (Sunset or Swallowtail Moths).
		The Uraniidae is a large family of colourful moths, well represented in the tropics, but with only two species found in Canada.
		Most geometrid larvae have only two pairs of prolegs toward the rear end so when the walk, they "inch" their way along.

	What are the differences between butterflies and moths?
		Exceptions: Several families of moths have antenna with clubs, most notably the Castniidae (Sun Moths)
		Exceptions: Many moths are brilliantly coloured, especially day-flying ones such as the northern Queensland Day Moth Alcides metaurus (Uraniidae), or the Jacob's Coat Moth Agarista agricola (Noctuidae).
		Many butterflies and skippers are dark brown with few markings.

		During the night colours are not visible, and there can be no doubt that the nocturnal moths, taken as a body, are much less gaily decorated than butterflies, all of which are diurnal in their habits.
		But the moths of certain families, such as the Zygaenidae, several Sphingidae, Uraniidae, some Arctiidae and Saturniidae, fly about during the day or early evening, and many of these are extremely beautiful, being far brighter coloured than the strictly nocturnal kinds.
		A few exceptional cases, however, of bright-coloured nocturnal species have been recorded.*
