Cacozelia is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878 and is known from Venezuela.
George Grote was an English political radical and classical historian. He is now best known for his major work, the voluminous History of Greece.
Augustus Radcliffe Grote was a British entomologist who described over 1,000 species of butterflies and moths. He is best known for his work on North American Noctuidae. A number of species were named after him, including the moth Horama grotei.
Acronicta is a genus of noctuid moths containing about 150 species distributed mainly in the temperate Holarctic, with some in adjacent subtropical regions. The genus was erected by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Caterpillars of most Acronicta species are unmistakable, with brightly colored hairy spikes, and often feed quite visibly on common foliate trees. The hairy spikes may contain poison, which cause itchy, painful, swollen rash in humans on contact. The larva of the smeared dagger moth is unusually hairy even for this genus. Acronicta species are generally known as dagger moths, as most have one or more black dagger-shaped markings on their forewing uppersides. But some species have a conspicuous dark ring marking instead.
Apamea is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
Evergestinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. The subfamily was described by H. Marion in 1952. It contains roughly 140 species on all continents and continental islands. Evergestine moths resemble Pyraustinae; however, the male genitalia have a long uncus and long, slender gnathos. The larvae feed mostly on Brassicaceae.
The Xylenini are a mid-sized tribe of moths in the Hadeninae subfamily. There is some dispute about this tribe. Some resources have these genera listed under subfamily Cuculliinae instead, or upranked them to a distinct subfamily Xyleninae.
Tricypha is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Möschler in 1878.
Mecyna is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was first described by Henry Doubleday in 1849.
Loxostege is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Euxoa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Lithophane is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Dilophonotini is a tribe of moths of the family Sphingidae described by Hermann Burmeister in 1878.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Almost 600 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.
Arta is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1875.
Cacozelia basiochrealis, the yellow-based cacozelia, is a species of snout moth in the genus Cacozelia. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878. It is found in the southern part of the United States.
Cacozelia interruptella is a species of snout moth in the genus Cacozelia. It is found in North America, including Arizona and Florida.
Cacozelia pemphusalis is a species of snout moth in the genus Cacozelia. It was described by Herbert Druce in 1899. It is found in the southern part of the United States, including Arizona.
Acrobasis tricolorella, the destructive prune worm or tricolored acrobasis moth, is a species of snout moth in the genus Acrobasis. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878, and is known from southern Canada and northern United States.
Honora is a genus of snout moths described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1878.
Noctuini is a tribe of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are at least 520 described species in Noctuini.
