Species notes from the sources
Etymology: Specific epithet in honor of Mrs. Edna L. (Hyatt) Beutenmüller, "who not only makes beautiful drawings of insects, but collected most of the larvae, the notes of which appear in this paper." Her husband William Beutenmüller collected the type specimen and other material forming the subject of this paper. Enjoy this example of her wonderful illustrations from " Monograph of the Sesiidae of America, north of Mexico ."
About Butterflies and Moths: the wider group
Order-level background for Lepidoptera, the group containing Anopina ednana. Species-specific details appear above.
Group overview
Lepidoptera includes approximately 180,000 described species of butterflies and moths. Moths outnumber butterflies roughly 10:1. The monarch butterfly's eastern population has declined by more than 80% since the mid-1990s, and the western population by over 95% since the 1980s. The IUCN lists the migratory monarch as Vulnerable.
Ecological role of the group
Butterflies and moths are essential indicators of ecosystem health. As caterpillars, they are a primary food source for birds - a single nest of blue tit chicks requires ~10,000 caterpillars. Adult moths pollinate many night-blooming plants.
Economic and practical significance of the group
Lepidoptera are critical pollinators. In Europe, grassland butterfly species have declined by almost 50% since the early 1990s. In the UK, three-quarters of butterflies are in decline. In the U.S., five butterfly species have gone extinct since 1950, with 29 listed as endangered.
Recorded sources for this group: IUCN Red List, Xerces Society, USFWS, PNAS, WWF. Imported estimates may describe particular regions or reporting periods.
