Agathiopsis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The species of this genus are found in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
Pyraustinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,400 species; most of them tropical but some found in temperate regions including both North America and Europe.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,132 described species in 340 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
The Pyralinae are the typical subfamily of snout moths and occur essentially worldwide, in some cases aided by involuntary introduction by humans. They are rather rare in the Americas however, and their diversity in the Australian region is also limited. Altogether, this subfamily includes about 900 described species, but new ones continue to be discovered. Like many of their relatives in the superfamily Pyraloidea, the caterpillar larvae of many Pyralinae – and in some cases even the adults – have evolved the ability to use unusual foods for nutrition; a few of these can become harmful to humans as pests of stored goods.
Eristena is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Paracymoriza is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Parapoynx is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Abraxas, the magpie moths, is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was first described by William Elford Leach in 1815.
Asthena is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Chrysocraspeda is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Charles Swinhoe in 1893.
Cleptocosmia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Cleptocosmia mutabilis, is found in Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1896.
Hemithea is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1829. In 1999 there were about 31 species in the genus.
Micrulia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Oenochlora is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its sole species is Oenochlora imperialis, which is known from Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1896.
Perizoma is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). It is the type genus of tribe Perizomini in subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe is considered monotypic by those who include the genera Gagitodes, Martania and Mesotype in Perizoma. Some other less closely related species formerly placed here are now elsewhere in the Larentiinae, e.g. in Entephria of the tribe Larentiini.
Problepsis is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Oreta is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Scea is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae.
Bellator is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triglidae, one of two genera belonging to the subfamily Prionotinae, the sea robins. These fishes are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean, in the waters off both North and South America.
Epiplema is a genus of moths in the family Uraniidae described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855. A number of species have been reassigned to Europlema.
Acentropinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. Species of this subfamily are exclusively found in wetlands and aquatic habitats.
