Nyctemera (Afronyctemera)

Afronyctemera is a genus of moths erected by Vladimir Dubatolov in 2006. [1] Its treatment varies by source, from being recognized as a valid genus [2] to a valid subgenus of Nyctemera [3] to being listed as doubtful [4] to not being recognized at all. [5] [6]

Species

AfroMoths, treating Afronyctemera as a subgenus, includes four species: [3]

When Afronyctemera is treated as a valid genus, it consists of one species that includes the rest of the above as synonyms: [2]

Similarly, the Global Lepidoptera Index treats Afronyctemera itokina (their Nyctemera itokina) as valid and the other taxa mentioned above as its synonyms. [5]
