The public source identifies “Carea angulata” as species of insect. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Carea, angulata and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Carea angulata”, the useful work is to connect “species of insect” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q13455263. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1793.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
