They are characterized by having the sexual dimorphism in the position of the tympanal organ (the ventral base of the abdomen in female and the lateral tergites between 2nd and 3rd abdomen in male) and the forewing venation that shows the lacking areole, having R3 + R4 as the terminal bifurcation of the Rs system, with R5 well separate from this system, sharing a common stalk or more rarely being connate with M1 (Holloway, 1998). The Uraniidae is comprised four subfamilies: Auzeinae, Epipleminae, Microniinae and Uraniinae (Minet and Scoble, 1999). In Korea, one species of Microniinae and 11 species of Epipleminae are known. However, no species of the subfamily Uraniinae was known. The genus Lyssa Hübner, one of the largest uraniids is mainly nocturnal and widely distributed in Indo-Australian tropics (Holloway, 1998). Both foreand hindwings are striking with straight, narrow white bands on brownish gray background color of wings and the hindwings tailed at M1 as well as M3, with vein CuA1 strongly incorporated in M3 and tails are tipped with white (Holloway, 1998).

Choisy were once treated under the genus Rimelia (Hale and Fletcher, 1990; Kurokawa, 1991); however, based on molecular phylogenetic studies, Crespo et al. (2001) and Blanco et al. (2005) declared that Rimelia was synonymous with Parmotrema. In addi­ tion, Divakar et al. (2005) treated P. clavuliferum as re­ synonymous with Parmotrema reticulatum. Parmotrema reticulatum was first described as Par­ melia reticulata Taylor based on a specimen from Kerry, Ireland (Taylor, 1836). This species is characterized by having sorediate lobes, white reticulate­maculate on the upper surface of the lobes, black lower surfaces; simple to branched rhizines; and the presence of atranorin and salazinic acid. This species is widely distributed through­ out tropical and subtropical areas of the world. On the other hand, Parmotrema clavuliferum was described by Räsänen (1944) as Parmelia clavulefera Räsänen based on a specimen from Tahiti. Parmotrema clavuliferum is distinct in having capitate soralia on short laciniae, which are always mottled white on the lower surface, especially below the sorediate lobules. It contains atra­ norin and salazinic acid as major chemical substances. It is also widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Parmotrema clavuliferum and P. reticulatum have sim­ ilar morphological and chemical characteristics as shown above. It was because of these common characteristics that Hale and Fletcher (1990) synomized Parmelia cla­ vulifera as R. reticulata ( = P. reticulatum). On the other hand, P. clavuliferum is clearly distinguished from P. re­ ticulatum by capitate soralia on short laciniae, a mottled white lower surface, and the production of fatty acid and gyrophoric acid as accessory substances; and P. clavulife­ rum has been treated as a separated species by many re­ searchers (e.g. Park, 1990; Kurokawa, 1991; Moon, 1999; Moon et al., 2000; 2001; Kashiwadani et al., 2000; 2002; Kurokawa and Lai, 2001; Elix, 2001; Komine et al., 2014 under the genus Rimelia; and Streimann, 1986; Bar­ bosa et al., 2010; Ohmura et al., 2012 under the genus Parmotrema). In a phylogenetic study, Divakar et al. (2005) asserted that P. clavuliferum and P. reticulatum are synonyms be­ cause of their morphology, distribution, and formation of a monophyletic group. In contrast, Del­Prado et al. (2011) reported that the Parmotrema reticulatum ­ P. pseudore­ ticulatum complex includes several species that remain taxonomically controversial. Del­Prado et al. (2011) also reported that P. reticulatum (s. lat.) was a polyphyletic group including well­supported clades within it. Although they used molecular analysis on this group, only a few specimens from Eastern Asia were treated.

The taxonomic classification based on 16S rRNA gene sequences shows that the class Alphaproteobacteria are recognized as a class within the phylum Proteobacteria and they are subdivided into 8 main subgroups or orders (Caulobacterales, Magnetococcales, Parvularculales, Rickettsiales, Rhizobiales, Rhodobacterales, Rhodospirillales, and Sphingomonadales; Ferla et al., 2013).

In general, all organisms in this class are unicellular and mostly rods, and are abundant in various freshwater habitats (Kim et al., 2012a; Zhang et al., 2014; Keller-Costa et al., 2014), seawater habitats (Giovannoni et al., 1990; Cho and Giovannoni, 2004; Du et al., 2009; Yan et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2012), and guts of animal (Kersters et al., 2006; Williams et al., 2010).
