Ardices is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855 and the moths are found in Australia. [1]
Subgenus Australemyra Dubatolov, 2005
Aloa is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae.
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.
Barsine is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Creatonotos is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The moths in the genus are found in the Afrotropics, South and East Asia, Sundaland and Australia.
Lemyra is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus contains many species from East and South Asia, Sundaland and Australia. It was described by Francis Walker in 1856.
Manulea is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Hans Daniel Johan Wallengren in 1863. The type species is Lithosia gilveola Ochsenheimer, 1810.
Nannoarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Nobutoyo Kôda in 1988.
Alphaea is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. They are found on India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Java only.
Paramsacta is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It includes two species:
Ardices curvata, the crimson tiger moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was first described by Edward Donovan in 1805 and it is found in Australia. The species was formerly included in Spilosoma, but later generic status of Ardices was proved by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov (2005).
Ardices canescens, the dark-spotted tiger moth or light ermine moth, is a moth in the family Erebidae that is found across most of Australia. It originally was included in the genus Spilosoma, but later the generic status of Ardices was proven.
Satara is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from Sulawesi and South India. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1865.
Spilarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875.
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.
Porela is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. All species are known from Australia.
Ardices glatignyi, the black and white tiger moth, is a moth in the family Erebidae that is found in Australia. The species was first described by Le Guillou in 1841. Formerly included in Spilosoma, but later generic status of Ardices was proved by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov (2005). The larvae are polyphagous, and are known to feed on Lantana camara, Acanthus mollis, and Tradescantia albiflora.
Popoudina is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics. The genus was erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2006. Formerly, species of this genus were mistakenly included in Estigmene. Probably, some species of the latter genus might belong to Popoudina.
Satara everetti is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in southern Sulawesi.
Satara nympha is a moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov and Yasunori Kishida in 2005. It is found in central Sulawesi.
