Cisthene is a genus of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Dodia is a genus of woolly bear moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1901. The moths are found in subarctic tundra and taiga ecosystems. They belong to the subtribe Callimorphina of tribe Arctiini.
Hyphantria is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841. The moths are primarily found in North and Central America. One species, Hyphantria cunea, was introduced in western, central and eastern Eurasia.
Metacrisiodes is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae. Its only species, Metacrisiodes pua, is found in Mexico. Both the genus and species were first described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1916.
Pseudohemihyalea is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae described by Régo Barros in 1956. While the caterpillars of most species of Pseudohemihyalea feed on broad-leaved trees, the P. ambigua group has larvae that feed on conifers. Their forewing coloration has accordingly evolved to light-and-dark lengthwise striping, giving better camouflage among the slim needles of the host plants. In this, they seem to be convergent to certain geometer moths, such as Caripeta piniata or Sabulodes niveostriata.
