Amerila is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.

Andesobia jelskii is a species of moth of the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Charles Oberthür in 1881. It is found in the Department of Junín in Peru.
Andesobia boliviana is a species of moth of the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Max Gaede in 1923. It is found in Peru and Bolivia.
Andesobia flavata is a species of moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It is found in Peru. Only very few specimens are known, and it is closely related to or conspecific with Andesobia boliviana. Externally, the holotype of A. flavata differs from A. boliviana only in having a slightly broader and more diffuse forewing marginal band, suggestive of minor intraspecific variation. However, the genitalic structure of the holotype reveals slight differences compared to A. flavata. Additional study material is needed to properly evaluate the status of these two taxa.
Eriostepta sanguinea is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by British entomologist George Hampson in 1905, originally under the genus Araeomolis; Hervé de Toulgoët transferred it to Eriostepta in 1993. It is found in French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, and the Brazilian state of Amazonas.
