Arctornis is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae, the namesake of the tribe Arctornithini, [1] and disputedly the sole genus in the tribe. [lower-alpha 1] The genus was erected by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1810. [3] [4] [5]

Species

The following species are included in the genus: [6]

Notes

  1. Wang et al in 2015 considered it the sole genus in the tribe, with several other genera ( Carriola , Topomesoides and Sitvia) deemed synonyms of Arctornis. [1] Shovkoon & Trofimova in 2024 revised the status of Carriola, restoring it to the status of separate genus within Arctornithini. [2]
