Ammatho is a genus in the moth family Erebidae. There are about 15 described species in Ammatho, found in South and Southeast Asia. [1] [2]

Contents

Ammatho formerly consisted of more than 75 species in 8 subgenera, but as a result of molecular phylogenetic research, most of the subgenera were elevated to genus rank and all but 15 of the species were moved the new genera. [2]

This genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1855. [3]
