Aemilia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. It was initially named Ameles, but this name properly refers to a praying mantis genus. [1]
A group of species closely related to the red-banded aemilia ("A." ambigua) was formerly placed in the genus (though only uneasily so). The species has recently been moved to the revalidated genus Pseudohemihyalea . [2]
Species of Aemilia include: [3]
Amastus is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Baritius is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Diptilon is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Otto von Prittwitz in 1870.
Elysius is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Eriostepta is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1901.
Hyperthaema is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Schaus in 1901.
Hyponerita is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by George Hampson in 1901.
Lophocampa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841. It contains around 75 species.
Mazaeras is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Melese is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Mesothen is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1898.
Metarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae and subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Neonerita is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1901.
Phaegoptera is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was proposed by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1853.
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.
Scaptius is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Symphlebia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Felder in 1874.
Teracotona is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1878.
Trichromia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. The members of this genus are largely indigenous to South America.
Virbia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
