"Pyrops w. whiteheadi" (Distant)"Pyrops" is a genus of
lantern fly that occurs primarily in southeast Asia, containing some 30 species. They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors.Following the rules of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature , the name of the genus is masculine in gender, and accordingly the species epithets in the genus must also be masculine, though numerous authors have consistently treated them as feminine.
