Artigisa melanephele is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1914. [2] It is known from Australia and New Zealand. [3]
The Sesiidae or clearwing moths are a diurnal moth family in the order Lepidoptera known for their Batesian mimicry in both appearance and behaviour of various Hymenoptera.
The Hypeninae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae. The taxon was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1851. A notable species is Mecistoptera griseifusa, which lives solely on tears it drinks with its proboscis.
Cyana is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. Species are well distributed in Africa, Madagascar, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Haemanota is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1901.
Nudaria is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1809.
Pseudoscaptia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by George Hampson in 1914. Its only species, Pseudoscaptia rothschildi, was first described by Max Wilhelm Karl Draudt in 1912. It is found in the north-eastern Himalayas, Vietnam, Thailand, as well as on Malacca, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The habitat consists of lowland forests, including secondary forests.
Spilarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875.
Caffrocrambus is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was first described by Achille Guenée in 1845. The currently known 214 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Araeopteron is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. It was first described by George Hampson in 1893.
Artigisa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Eulepidotis is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Bityla sericea is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the New Zealand Department of Conservation.
Poecilasthena subpurpureata is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It was first described by Francis Walker in 1863 and it is endemic to New Zealand. A synomic species, Astheniodes polycymaria, has a holotype that was recorded by George Hampson as being from India, which, as Dayong Xue and Malcolm J. Scoble point out in their paper, would be a very strange distribution pattern. Louis Beethoven Prout reasonably calls this an error in his 1926 paper.
The Erebinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae erected by William Elford Leach in 1815. Erebine moths are found on all continents except Antarctica, but reach their greatest diversity in the tropics. While the exact number of species belonging to the Erebinae is not known, the subfamily is estimated to include around 10,000 species. Some well-known Erebinae include underwing moths (Catocala) and witch moths (Thermesiini). Many of the species in the subfamily have medium to large wingspans, up to nearly 30 cm in the white witch moth, which has the widest wingspan of all Lepidoptera. Erebine caterpillars feed on a broad range of plants; many species feed on grasses and legumes, and a few are pests of castor bean, sugarcane, rice, as well as pistachios and blackberries.
Metarbela is a genus of moths in the family Cossidae described by William Jacob Holland in 1893.
Gadira leucophthalma, commonly known as the beaked moss moth, is a moth in the family Crambidae. It is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been classified as Nationally Vulnerable by the Department of Conservation.
Merlin Owen Pasco was a New Zealand entomologist. Pasco discovered several species of moth previously unknown to science and collected numerous specimens.
Austramathes pessota is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Artigisa nigrosignata is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Sri Lanka, Borneo and India.
