Thoressa hyrie
species of insect
Thoressa hyrie is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It was described by Lionel de Nicéville in 1891. It is found in the Indomalayan realm (southeast Tibet, northern Thailand and Laos). It is easily recognisable by the double hyaline spot in the cell of the fore wing. The hyaline spots themselves are rather large, the fringes show traces of lighter irroration.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Thoressa hyrie” is species of insect. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Thoressa, hyrie and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of insect” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q99264351. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1891.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. 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.
