Dominickus

''Dominickus'' is an extinct genus of moth in the butterfly-moth family Castniidae containing a single species ''Dominickus castnioides''. The species is known from late Eocene, Priabonian stage, lake deposits near the small community of Guffey in Teller County, Colorado, USA.
==History and classification==
''Dominickus castnioides'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype, specimen "P.22949". It is a single, mostly complete pair of fore wings, preserved as a compression fossil in fine grained shale.〔 The shale specimen is from the fossiliferous outcrops of the Florissant Formation which outcrop near Guffey southwest of Florissant. The type specimen is currently preserved in the paleoentomological collections housed in the Field Museum of Natural History, located in Chicago, Illinois, USA. ''Dominickus'' was first studied by Norman Barnett Tindale of Palo Alto, California, with his 1985 type description being published in the ''Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera''.〔 The generic name was coined by Tindale in honor of Richard Dominick. Tindale did not provide an explanation for the specific epithet ''castnioides''.
When first examined, the specimen was thought to possibly be related to an early ancestor of Hesperioidea and Papilionoidea, due to the overall wide shape of the wings and the fork of the Cu vein being near the wing midpoint.〔 However while Tindale was examining a series of photographs taken in Australia of live ''Synemon'' species butterfly-moths, he noticed a strong similarity between the modern moth and the Florissant fossil.〔 Tindale then compared the fossil to the modern Chilean species ''Castnia psittacus'' which shows a closer match. The major difference between the fossil and modern members of Castniidae is the fossil's lack of a crossvein between the R1 and R2 veins.〔
At the time of description, the Florissant formation was considered to be Oligocene in age.〔 Further refinement of the formation's age using radiometric dating of sanidine crystals has resulted in an age of 34 million years old, which places the formation in the Eocene Chadronian stage. Further refinement of the Eocene-Oligocene has placed the formation into the late Eocene Priabonian stage.
