Amsacta is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Francis Walker in 1855. The genus contains several species that need a review.
Correbia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855.
Elysius is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Estigmene is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820. The species in the genus are native to North and Central America.
Lambula is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1866.
Pseudosphex is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818. These moths are mimics of a variety of Hymenoptera. The prefix pseudo means "false", and Sphex is a genus of wasps.
Spilosoma is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae originally described by John Curtis in 1825. A very heterogeneous group, it is in need of review by the scientific community, as certain species probably need reclassification into their own genera.
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.
Nacoleia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Francis Walker in 1859.
