Attacus atlas, the Atlas moth, is a large saturniid moth endemic to the forests of Asia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
The Pyraloidea are a moth superfamily containing about 16,000 described species worldwide, and probably at least as many more remain to be described. They are generally fairly small moths, and as such, they have been traditionally associated with the paraphyletic Microlepidoptera.
Bucculatricidae or (Bucculatrigidae) is a family of moths. This small family has representatives in all parts of the world. Some authors place the group as a subfamily of the family Lyonetiidae.
The Limacodidae or Eucleidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Zygaenoidea or the Cossoidea; the placement is in dispute. They are often called slug moths because their caterpillars bear a distinct resemblance to slugs. They are also called cup moths because of the shape of their cocoons.
Anuga is a genus of moths of the family Euteliidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852.
Labanda is a genus of moths of the family Nolidae erected by Francis Walker in 1859.
Batracharta is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1862.
Chorsia is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1863.
Ischyja is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Hypenagonia is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1893. The adult moths have pale brown wings with a dark band across each wing. The wingspan of these moths is about 1 centimeter.
Oglasa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1859.
Ilema is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Walker in 1855 and renamed by Moore in 1860, because Walker's chosen name was preoccupied.
Ozola is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1861.
Sterrhinae is a large subfamily of geometer moths with some 3,000 described species, with more than half belonging to the taxonomically difficult, very diverse genera, Idaea and Scopula. This subfamily was described by Edward Meyrick in 1892. They are the most diverse in the tropics with the number of species decreasing with increasing latitude and elevation.
Ercheia cyllaria is a species of moth of the family Erebidae first described by Pieter Cramer in 1779. It is found in the Indian subregion, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Japan, Indochina, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Seram and the Kai Islands.
Tridrepana albonotata is a moth of the family Drepanidae described by Frederic Moore in 1879. It is found in India, Nepal, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Bali and Sulawesi.
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.
Ardonis filicata is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by Charles Swinhoe in 1892. It is found in the north-eastern Himalayas and Borneo and Sulawesi.
Didiguides is a monotypic moth genus of the family Nolidae erected by Lutz W. R. Kobes in 1994. Its only species, Didiguides semifervens, was first described by Francis Walker in 1863. It is found on Borneo, Sumatra and Sulawesi, as well as in New Guinea and on the Bismarck Islands. The habitat consists of dipterocarp forests, including alluvial forests.
Bucculatrix cuneigera is a moth in the family Bucculatricidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Maine, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and North Carolina. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1919.
