ogdoconta cinereola , the common pinkband moth , is a moth in the noctuidae family .

it is found in eastern , central , and south-western north america .

it occurs from southern ontario and quebec south to southern florida .

at the western edge of its distribution , it occurs from manitoba southward through the great plains of nebraska and iowa , south throughout most of texas , and westward through southern new mexico to south-eastern arizona ( santa cruz county ) .

the distribution extends south to the state of coahuila in northern mexico .

the length of the forewings is 9.5 – 14.5 mm .

the forewing is light fuscous brown , and the subterminal region ( between the postmedial and subterminal lines ) is suffused with a pinkish tinge .

the medial and basal areas are minutely speckled with white .

the reniform and orbicular spots are obscure but often discernible by fine white outlines .

the claviform spot is absent .

the postmedial line is a white , almost straight , oblique line with a slight basally directed bend .

the hindwings are suffused with brown .

males and females are similar in appearance , although the female hindwing usually is darker .

adults are on wing from may to september in the northern part of the range and from april to october in texas and florida .

the larvae feed on amaranthaceae , asteraceae ( especially ambrosia species ) , fabaceae , labiatae and poaceae species .

superficially , ogdoconta margareta and ogdoconta tacna are very similar and key out together in couplet 6 of the key to species in metzler et al . ( op cit . ) . the forewings of ogdoconta margareta have a violet tint whereas those of ogdoconta tacna are greenish . the hindwing of ogdoconta margareta is paler than that of ogdoconta tacna without significant dark suffusion at the anterior margin . ogdoconta margareta can be distinguished from all of the other ogdoconta species that are known to occur in arizona , ogdoconta cinereola ( guenée ) , ogdoconta moreno barnes , and ogdoconta rufipenna metzler , knudson , & poole , by its uniform purplish brown forewing and pale whitish hindwing . the forewings of the other species are either dark red brown or have lighter areas on the distal wing , and their hindwings are darker . modifications to the ogdoconta key to species in metzler ( op cit . ) are given in the discussion , below .

i am grateful to the following individuals for help with this project : jocelyn gill photographed the ogdoconta tacna adult and prepared the illustrations ; j . donald lafontaine suggested that this species might be distinct , submitted the ogdoconta margareta dna sample to bold , and shared ogdoconta co1 similarity trees ; eric metzler graciously allowed the use of the images of the ogdoconta tacna genitalia ; merrill peterson took the photographs of ogdoconta margareta ; and b . christian schmidt gave editorial advice and other assistance .
a new species of ogdoconta butler ( lepidoptera , noctuidae , condicinae , condicini ) is described from the patagonia mountains , santa cruz county , arizona , usa . ogdoconta margareta sp . n . , is related closely to ogdoconta tacna ( barnes ) from texas . modifications are proposed to a recently published key to the ogdoconta species north of mexico to allow identification of the new species .
the two known specimens were collected in early september . it is possible that ogdoconta margareta also flies during the spring because the closely related species ogdoconta tacna has two broods ( metzler et al . 2013 ) .
the key to the species of ogdoconta in north america north of mexico in metzler et al . ( op cit . ) can be modified to include ogdoconta margareta by substituting the following couplet 6 for the original and inserting the following couplet 8 after couplet 7 :
ogdoconta margareta is a rarely collected species that is known only from the type locality in southeastern arizona , usa and sonora , mexico .
a review of the genus ogdoconta butler ( lepidoptera , noctuidae , condicinae , condicini ) from north america north of mexico with descriptions of three new species .
a single specimen of a new ogdoconta species resembling ogdoconta tacna ( barnes ) , a species that is known only from texas in the united states , was collected in 2013 near harshaw in the patagonia mountains , santa cruz county , arizona . while the new species and ogdoconta tacna are very similar superficially , their male genitalia are distinct and their co1 barcode sequences differ by nearly 4 % . a second specimen of the new species from sonora , mexico , was identified by its co1 barcode and is included in the type series . this new species is described herein .
the north american noctuid moth genus ogdoconta butler was revised recently by metzler et al . ( 2013 ) . there are approximately 16 species in the genus , of which nine occur north of mexico . the most characteristic feature of the genus is a horizontal cleft in the valve of the male genitalia that divides it into dorsal and ventral components .

diagnosis : ogdoconta cinereola is the only north american species of the genus found outside of the southwestern u . s . - mexico region . it occurs abundantly in the eastern half of the united states and southeastern canada . the species is easy to identify . the forewing is brown and the subterminal region between the postmedial and subterminal lines is suffused with pink . the median and basal areas are minutely speckled with white . the antemedial line is an obscure , scalloped white line . the reniform spot and orbicular spot are obscure but often discernable as fine white lines . the claviform spot is absent . the postmedial line is a white , almost straight , oblique line . the subterminal line is marked primarily as a brown shade terminating the pink suffusion of the subterminal region . the hindwing is suffused with brown . the male genitalia are not particularly remarkable , but this appears to be the only species in the genus with a clasper - like structure near the junction or the saccular and cucullar regions of the valve . the vesica has a complete coil in it , although this feature is shared with other species . likewise there is a complete coil in the appendix bursae of the female genitalia .
the 658 base pair dna “barcode” region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 ( co1 ) was used to assess molecular variation in the genus odgoconta . a leg of the arizona specimen was submitted to the barcodes of life campaign ( bold ) at the university of guelph ( ontario , canada ) where it was analyzed by standard dna extraction , amplification , and sequencing protocols as described by hebert et al . ( 2003 ) . the barcode sequence was compared to pre - existing ogdoconta material at bold using the kimura - 2 - parameter distance model as implemented on the barcode of life data systems website ( urltoken ) .

miana atomaria walker , 1865 , list of the specimens of lepidopterous insects in the collection of the british museum , 32 : 675 .
distribution : this species has a wide distribution in the eastern half of north america . it occurs from southern ontario and quebec in the north to southern florida in the south . the species stretches northward into the great plains as far north as nebraksa and iowa . it has not yet been collected in the dakotas or manitoba . the species occurs throughout most of texas except for the western counties and stretches as far south as the state of coahuila in northern mexico . there is little or no individual or geographical variation in this species .
the adult is generally common . adults have been collected throughout the summer months from may to september in the north to as early as april and as late as october in texas and florida .
the larval material in the usnm is now too faded to give a good description of the markings and coloration of the larvae , so i am repeating crumb ' s original description .
body green flecked with white , dorsum usually suffused with white . strong , sharply defined white lines middorsally and ventral of ii . spiracles white , included in the subventral white stripe which may be margined dorsally by a purplish red line . setigerous tubercles small to moderately large , but not conspicuous , slightly elevated , white . head greenish with white lateral lines margining the front and faint traces of darker submedian arcs and lateral lines , labrum white .
foodplants : crumb ( 1956 ) records the larva from ambrosia artemisiifolia ( ragweed ) and a . trifida ( giant ragweed ) , in the asteraceae . there are also adults in the usnm reared from helianthus annuus l . ( sunflower ) and
artichoke
. it is not clear from the labels whether the latter record is the true artichoke or the jerusalem artichoke .

it has been reported that holy roman emperor covered his first mare on the same day , a move that emphasises even more the commercial priority of magnier ' s coolmore operation , and one that has been undertaken to salvage as much as possible from the multi - million euro implications of george washington ' s infertility .
two years later an imposing son of danehill , a horse standing his second season at coolmore stud , was chosen as zarinia ' s mate .
an astonishing sequence of events , beginning with the discovery that last year ' s brilliant guineas winner george washington is infertile , led to the swift removal of holy roman emperor from aidan o ' brien ' s ballydoyle yard on saturday and the end of the racing career of the trainer ' s top classic prospect for 2007 .
therefore that makes our filly the daughter of pretty flamingo , the $ 625 , 000 weanling , and next , our filly is the grand - daughter of milanova the $ 5 million broodmare and milanova is the full sister to holy roman emperor . milanova is a half sister to the $ 3 million record price yearling mount olympus .
second - crop star homecoming queen provided holy roman emperor with his first classic winner this year through her runaway , nine - length victory in the one thousand guineas , though she has run disappointingly in subsequent races . that classic win , though , was only the beginning of what has turned out to be an excellent year for the young stallion .
and her blood flows through many a great australian horse with eight carat - record breaking dam of five group one winners including the champion octagonal - also a descendant .
, the roman catholic king and queen of spain . after his father’s death in 1506 , charles was raised by his paternal aunt
holy roman emperor’s second dam , fanfreluche , by northern dancer , was a champion in the united states and canada , and her daughters and granddaughters had been responsible for a long list of turf luminaries , including european champion juvenile filly bint allayl , leading australian sires flying spur and encosta de lago , and group 1 or grade 1 winners aube indienne , majestic roi , and medici .
holy roman emperor was the success story among stallions claiming championships in the various categories for the french racing year of 2012 . the last of 85 danehill foals to win a group i race was the appropriate champion as leading sire of two - year - olds , since he won his last race at the highest level in the prix jean luc - lagardere ( 1400m ) at longchamp .
holy roman emperor came to coolmore stud’s australian base in the hunter valley on four occasions and copped a hard start to his first season in 2007 when we were suffering the equine influenza crisis . he had two solid books his first two seasons , then the financial crisis in his third year which saw a drop in service fee and numbers and then again in his fourth and final season .
a truly international success story is holy roman emperor . . . winners in 41 different countries ! a stallion whose stats read so very well - a 65 . 3 % winners - to - runners strike rate , 6 . 2 % stakes winners to runners . prize money earnings in excess of $ 82 million , stakes winners who have won over a variety of distances from 1000m to 2500m .
such as caulfield cup hero mongolian khan , also winner of the new zealand and australian derbies . . . the only horse to claim all three of those coveted group one races .
the boss has his clients and he obviously has to take care of them . they are trying to replace like with like . holy roman emperor is by danehill and has a super physique too . with all those mares booked to george , they felt they had to pull out all the stops . it ' s a sickener , but it ' s a business decision ,
the champion trainer said .
holy roman emperor is inbred 3x3 to northern dancer , and , inevitably , 15 of his 21 stakes winners carry at least one additional cross of the little giant of windfields farm . two of his three group 1 winners , homecoming queen and rollout the carpet , do not , and there are no obvious strong preferences among the broodmare sires of his best runners although two of his nine group winners are out of bering mares .
, ” a formula conciliatory to the protestants but retaining the roman catholic ritual in general . although charles believed that he had granted far - reaching concessions to the people and the protestant authorities in that document , his main concern was to make the protestants return to the roman catholic church .
scintillo won the 2yo gran criterium group 1 , defeating gladiatorus ( who shortly after won g1 ' s dubai duty free and premio vittorio ) and was awarded the ‘ world’s highest rated horse “ .
five of her progeny , including canadian horse of the year l ' enjoleur , were stakes winners and she spurred a dynasty whose members include the australian champion stallions flying spur and encosta de lago .
including a tough fellow by the name of honorius , a horse whose illustrious background demands attention ! a proven high class sire line , an internationally prolific family . . . he has it all .
australia has been supported by an international spread of breeders which includes , in addition to shareholder china horse club , martin schwartz , moyglare stud , glenhill farm , gestut fahrhof , ballylinch stud and sir robert ogden .
the pope , having surrendered to the mutinous troops , was ready for any compromise . the newly started war between the emperor and france also came to a close when the mother of francis i approached margaret of austria , the emperor’s aunt , through whose mediation the so - called “ladies’ peace , ” the
, but the order to give decisive battle was withheld . instead , the emperor returned to spain in 1533 , leaving his brother ferdinand behind as his deputy .
never tasting defeat , zarkava earned the title of cartier european horse of the year and has already produced a group one winner - her son zarak charging home from the rear to claim the grand prix de saint - cloud in early july .
kristen manning is a freelance racing writer and pedigree analyst based in melbourne . a keen owner / breeder who loves every aspect of thoroughbred horse racing , she has written two books focusing on the deeds of fields of omagh and prince of penzance .
saturday racing in the week of the anniversary of the legendary bart cummings ' death , a horse that holds a special place in the family ' s hearts will start a campaign that could result in one of australian racing ' s most sentimental wins .
last season ' s charismatic champion miler retired to stud at the end of 2006 complete with a €60 , 000 covering fee . but the results of about 40 mares which the horse has covered so far in this breeding season have all been negative .
“no nay never was pinhooked by paul shanahan and timmy hyde as a foal so they’ve supported him very well since he’s come to stud–he’s got plenty of their mares , ” o’loughlin said . “they’re big believers in the horse . but he’s an interesting horse because he raced in three countries : america , england and france and he raced on three surfaces , turf , dirt and polytrack . he’s been particularly popular internationally ; some americans have bred mares to him , people like hunter valley and reiley mcdonald . ”
“we own him in partnership with al shaqab and they’ve supported him all along , ” o’loughlin noted of ruler of the world , who has also been supported at stud by his trainer , aidan o’brien . “breeders in england , france , ireland and germany have supported the horse . ”

family .
little wonder that australians have been keen to tap into the influence of this family and it was kia - ora stud , nsw who imported zariya ' s irish bred granddaughter zarinia in 2005 . . . and they struck gold early with her second foal being south african horse of the year igugu .
the results of conclusive tests on george washington ' s fertility are still awaited , but the move does leave open the intriguing possibility of a return to racing action for the horse which also won last year ' s queen elizabeth ii stakes before unsuccessfully bowing out on dirt in the breeders ' cup classic .
several stories tell of nicholas and the sea . when he was young , nicholas sought the holy by making a pilgrimage to the holy land . there as he walked where jesus walked , he sought to more deeply experience jesus ' life , passion , and resurrection . returning by sea , a mighty storm threatened to wreck the ship . nicholas calmly prayed . the terrified sailors were amazed when the wind and waves suddenly calmed , sparing them all . and so st . nicholas is the patron of sailors and voyagers .

“we are absolutely delighted to have secured one of the most commercial young entires in training for our first breeding season , ” declared wooldridge . “no established sire in australia is more commercial than snitzel at this time , and with spill the beans we have managed to acquire a young horse that would not be out of place on any stallion roster in the country . ”
the dominions of charles v thus encircled france and incorporated the wealth of spain overseas . even after the division of this vast inheritance between his son , philip ii of spain , and his brother , the emperor ferdinand i , the conflict between the habsburgs and the french crown dominated the…
“he’s a different sort of horse from the gurkha , he’s more your speed type and he was a top 2 - year - old , ” o’loughlin said . he has a very interesting pedigree , being by street cry over a danehill mare from the family of invincible spirit and kodiac , so it resonates a lot with breeders . it’s a fantastic stallion - producing family and people can relate to it so easily . ”

“he’s such an international horse , and i think that’s becoming more important because the world is getting smaller , ” o’loughlin added . “speed horses are getting more popular everywhere , so he’s a big hit with european breeders because he was so fast . he’s going to cover a similar book to the gurkha , 150 - plus mares . the other thing is he’s an outcross to sadler’s wells - line mares , which is important here . ”
in 1519 ( succeeding his grandfather emperor maximilian i ) recalled him to that country after some two and one - half years in spain , charles left behind him a dissatisfied and restless people . adrian , whom he had installed as regent , was not strong enough to suppress the revolt of the castilian cities (
, thus handing over imperial lands . when maurice tried to capture the emperor himself , the latter barely managed to escape . he soon gathered reinforcements , but the changed political situation compelled him to ratify an agreement made between his brother ferdinand and the rebels , according to which the new protestant religion was to be granted
. the reformer’s appearance represented a first challenge to charles , beginning with a sweeping invocation of his roman catholic ancestors , read out to the diet . after luther refused to recant the substance of his writings and left the diet , charles drew up the edict of worms . with it , he rejected luther’s doctrines and essentially declared war on protestantism .
the gurkha , the winner of last year’s g1 poule d’essai des poulains and g1 sussex s . , is standing his initial season for €25 , 000 . “the gurkha is a horse we bred , ” o’loughlin noted . “we bought his mother , who is by danehill dancer , as a yearling in deauville , and she was a good 2 - year - old and won a good race at the curragh . she was actually scanned in foal to galileo this week . ”
shareholders in pride of dubai include his breeder sheikh khalifa al maktoum and the china horse club , and other breeders supporting him include jim bolger , airlie stud , the niarchos family , moyglare stud , mark gittins , and denis brosnan . his book includes group winners ponty acclaim ( ire ) ( acclamation { gb } ) and princess nala ( ire ) ( in the wings { gb } ) , and the dam of group 1 winner lahaleeb ( ire ) ( redback { gb } ) .
under the roman emperor diocletian , who ruthlessly persecuted christians , bishop nicholas suffered for his faith , was exiled and imprisoned . the prisons were so full of bishops , priests , and deacons , there was no room for the real criminals—murderers , thieves and robbers . after his release , nicholas attended the council of nicaea in ad 325 . he died december 6 , ad 343 in myra and was buried in his cathedral church , where a unique relic , called manna , formed in his grave . this liquid substance , said to have healing powers , fostered the growth of devotion to nicholas . the anniversary of his death became a day of celebration , st . nicholas day , december 6th ( december 19 on the julian calendar ) .
in 1765 maria theresa’s husband , francis stephen , died . upon his death , maria theresa appointed her eldest son , joseph ii , as emperor and co - regent . the two frequently clashed in their beliefs . after considering her own abdication and ultimately rejecting the idea , maria theresa allowed joseph to take control of army reforms and join wenzel anton , prince of kaunitz - rietberg , in determining the empire’s foreign policy .
. after that , the turkish danger became the habsburgs’ foremost concern on land , as it had been on the seas ever since charles’s accession to the throne of spain . although charles realized that his first duty as emperor of christendom lay in warding off that peril , he found himself so enmeshed in the affairs of western europe that he had little time , energy , and money left for the task . in 1526 charles married isabella , the daughter of the late king
did not open until december 1545 , but paul iii had earlier offered charles men and money against the heretics . when the protestant princes failed to put in an appearance at the imperial diet of regensburg in 1546 , the religious and political situation turned critical once again . charles prepared for war . in a battle that decided the whole campaign and placed his archenemies at his mercy , the emperor ( who had been attacked by the german princes the previous september ) defeated the protestants at

t . j . comerford , assistant trainer for aidan o ' brie . . .
although coolmore and partners maintain one of the world’s most successful racing stables at ballydoyle , sending out classic winners and champions almost every year , their business is selling stallion seasons . with george washington’s stud fee at $ 78 , 000 , the loss of all those mares booked to george washington would be a substantial blow to the bottom line .
although unraced herself , l’on vite had done her share to spread franfreluche’s genetic excellence , producing australian group 3 winner milanova , by danehill , japanese near - millionaire big viking , by theatrical , and stakes winner heart of oak , by woodman .
this fall , his juvenile son morandi proved himself one of the best 2 - year - olds in france with wide - margin victories in the criterium de saint - cloud and prix de conde . a week after morandi’s group 1 victory , his australian - conceived daughter rollout the carpet captured the new zealand bloodstock one thousand guineas .
teofilo , too , has shown promise as a sire , with dewhurst stakes winner parish hall in his first crop , but poor george washington sired only one foal during his brief period at stud and was dead before the next stud season after breaking down in the 2007 breeders’ cup classic . his only foal , the aptly named date with destiny , placed in the 2011 totepool oaks trial stakes at lingfield park .

wow claire ! it’s like you read my mind ! first i was awake at night finding that i wanted to learn more about katherine h because i hated how annoying ( & naked ) they made her look on the tudors… . the next day , you posted an article on her . charles v was on my list of history to explore & study… . and here you are again . new to the site , but hooked…i like how you lay out all the facts and not just yours & others opinions… . although i almost always agree w / yours…great job ! keep it up , reading your site has now become a part of my morning routine w / coffee .
thank you , courtney , i always try to give a balanced view of historical characters because most of the time we just don’t know the whole truth . i’m so glad that you’re enjoying the site , i love running it .
although charles had affairs before he married and after he was widowed , he was devoted to his wife isabella and was faithful to her . they were married for thirteen years .
he was so devasted when she died following the birth of a stillborn child that he wore black for the rest of his life . he refused to consider re - marriage , although he only had one son and two daughters , and was still comparatively young ( 39 ) . a very different character from his contemporary and rival henry viii…
this makes me want to learn more about charles–i didn’t know about his mistresses or his epilepsy–of course , the chin–yes . thanks !
what an interesting person , i didn’t knew much about him . thanks for writing this 🙂
just want to say thank you for the interesting post about charles v . i’ve been looking at your site for about a year now and your informative articles have reawakened my long lost interest in history of this time period . i also am learning from other people’s comments . i look forward to reading your posts and thank you for all your hard work .
i would like to nkow about my coin . charles 5 . years 1648 .

the true story of santa claus begins with nicholas , who was born during the third century in the village of patara . at the time the area was greek and is now on the southern coast of turkey . his wealthy parents , who raised him to be a devout christian , died in an epidemic while nicholas was still young . obeying jesus ' words to
sell what you own and give the money to the poor ,
nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy , the sick , and the suffering . he dedicated his life to serving god and was made bishop of myra while still a young man . bishop nicholas became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need , his love for children , and his concern for sailors and ships .
through the centuries many stories and legends have been told of st . nicholas ' life and deeds . these accounts help us understand his extraordinary character and why he is so beloved and revered as protector and helper of those in need .
one story tells of a poor man with three daughters . in those days a young woman ' s father had to offer prospective husbands something of value—a dowry . the larger the dowry , the better the chance that a young woman would find a good husband . without a dowry , a woman was unlikely to marry . this poor man ' s daughters , without
, were therefore destined to be sold into slavery . mysteriously , on three different occasions , a bag of gold appeared in their home - providing the needed dowries . the bags of gold , tossed through an open window , are said to have landed in stockings or shoes left before the fire to dry . this led to the custom of children hanging stockings or putting out shoes , eagerly awaiting gifts from
. sometimes the story is told with gold balls instead of bags of gold . that is why three gold balls , sometimes represented as oranges , are one of the symbols for st . nicholas . and so st . nicholas is a gift - giver .
another story tells of three theological students , traveling on their way to study in athens . a wicked innkeeper robbed and murdered them , hiding their remains in a large pickling tub . it so happened that bishop nicholas , traveling along the same route , stopped at this very inn . in the night he dreamed of the crime , got up , and summoned the innkeeper . as nicholas prayed earnestly to god the three boys were restored to life and wholeness . in france the story is told of three small children , wandering in their play until lost , lured , and captured by an evil butcher . st . nicholas appears and appeals to god to return them to life and to their families . and so st . nicholas is the patron and protector of children .
, sparing the lives of those innocently accused , and much more . he did many kind and generous deeds in secret , expecting nothing in return . within a century of his death he was celebrated as a saint . today he is
sailors , claiming st . nicholas as patron , carried stories of his favor and protection far and wide . st . nicholas chapels were built in many seaports . as his popularity spread during the middle ages , he became the patron saint of
brought st . nicholas ' stories and devotion to st . nicholas to his homeland where nicholas became the most beloved saint . nicholas was so widely revered that thousands of churches were named for him , including three hundred in belgium , thirty - four in rome , twenty - three in the netherlands and more than four hundred in england .
through the centuries st . nicholas has continued to be venerated by catholics and orthodox and honored by protestants . by his example of generosity to those in need , especially children , st . nicholas continues to be a model for the compassionate life .

agnippe leuconota is a moth in the family gelechiidae .

it is found in north america , where it has been recorded from illinois , maine , florida , texas and mexico .

adults are similar to agnippe prunifoliella , but that species has a small white spot on the base of the costa of the forewings , a distinct white costal spot just before the cilia , and a white streak in the apex , all of which are absent in leuconota .

in prunifoliella , the white of the dorsal margin sends three large almost triangular projections into the brown , but in this species there are three scarcely perceptible emarginations only .

adults are on wing from may to august .

agnippe leuconota

i think we can just leave it and let the comments explain . maybe we ' ll make a
leuconota or prunifoliella
some time in the future .
i ' m not sure how to handle this . i trust sangmi lee to get it right but her spread specimen of prunifoliella on mpg doesn ' t have a distinct white spot . there are few examples of leuconota online but it seems that the separation between the light and dark is generally less sinuous on leuconota than it is on prunifoliella .
according to busck here , a . prunifoliella is separated from a . leuconota by the presence of a white costal spot . genetalia is not mentioned . yours has a few white scales forming a faint coastal spot but it seems no more obvious than for examples at bold in bold : aag0028 , the bin holding samples of leuconota . the examples at bold for prunifoliella are mostly in bold : aac3010 and they all have a much larger white costal spot . these two bins are not close and there are couple more with examples that seem intermediate . one of those bins is close to bold : aac3010 and has examples with a reduced coastal spot . perhaps all examples that don ' t have an obvious coastal spot should be placed in a no taxon
leuconota or prunifoliella
