Artigisa is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae, in which it is placed to subfamily Hypeninae, [1] [2] or alternatively, Erebinae. [3] This genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1863. [4]
There are six recognized species: [1] [3]
The status of Catada acrospilaTurner, 1906 is uncertain, [5] with some placing it here as Artigisa acrospila(Turner, 1906). [6]
The Hepialidae are a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. Moths of this family are often referred to as swift moths or ghost moths.
The family Fulgoridae is a large group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, containing over 125 genera worldwide. They are mostly of moderate to large size, many with a superficial resemblance to Lepidoptera due to their brilliant and varied coloration. Various genera and species are sometimes referred to as lanternflies or lanthorn flies.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Arotrophora is a genus of tortrix moth. They occur in Australia, where they are strongly associated with the plant family Proteaceae. All of the known Australian larvae bore in Banksia flower spikes. The genus was recently discovered from the Oriental region and one species is found on Papua.
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.
Imma is a large genus of moths in the obtectomeran "micromoth" family Immidae. This is the type genus of its family. They are widespread in the tropics, with most species occurring between the Himalayas and the Oceanian region; the genus is furthermore plentiful in the Neotropics, but not very diverse in the Afrotropics.
The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, in the family Fulgoridae, or "lanternflies".
Carmara is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Carmara subcervina, is found in Sri Lanka, Japan, Taiwan, Borneo and Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Francis Walker in 1864.
Olulis is a genus in the moth family Erebidae. There are about eight described species in Olulis, found in South, Southeast, and East Asia, and in Australia.
Targalla is a genus of moths of the family Euteliidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1858.
Aeolochroma is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Prout in 1912.
Microdes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. They occur in Australia and New Zealand.
Phrataria is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Francis Walker in 1863. All the species in this genus are known from Australia.
Poecilasthena is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Eupitheciini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae, often referred to as pugs. The tribe was described by Tutt in 1896.
Artigisa melanephele is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1914. It is known from Australia and New Zealand.
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths. They are primarily Neotropical and include about 400 described species.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. More than 720 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
Salma is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863.
