Asuridia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1900.
The Pterophoridae or plume moths are a family of Lepidoptera with unusually modified wings, giving them the shape of a narrow winged airplane. Though they belong to the Apoditrysia like the larger moths and the butterflies, unlike these they are tiny and were formerly included among the assemblage called "microlepidoptera".
The Tortricidae are a family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus Heliocosma is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile.
The Lymantriinae are a subfamily of moths of the family Erebidae. The taxon was erected by George Hampson in 1893.
Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.
Glossata is a suborder of the Lepidoptera, containing all members that have a coilable proboscis; i.e., it includes all butterflies and the vast majority of moth species. The only non-Gloassatan moths are in the suborders Aglossata, Heterobathmiina, and Zeugloptera.
The Thyatirinae, or false owlet moths, are a subfamily of the moth family Drepanidae with about 200 species described. Until recently, most classifications treated this group as a separate family called Thyatiridae.
Metaprotus is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Asuridia rubripennis is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in Taiwan.
Mattesia is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect insects.

Asuridia metaphaea is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1900. It is found in Sikkim, India.
Asuridia miltochristoides is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in the Khasia Hills.
Asuridia nigriradiata is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1896. It is found in Bhutan.
Asuridia nigrisparsa is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in New Guinea.
Asuridia phoenicea is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found on Goodenough Island.
Asuridia subcruciata is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Walter Rothschild in 1913. The type location is Little Kei Island.

Metaprotus asuridia is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1886. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
Nudariina is a subtribe of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The taxon was described by Carl Julius Bernhard Börner in 1920.
