Clelea is a genus of moths of the family Zygaenidae.
Gunda is a genus of moths of the family Bombycidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1862. It is primarily an Oriental genus, found in India, China and South-east Asia.
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.
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,132 described species in 340 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Hypena is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It was first described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802. These non-migratory moths overwinter as pupae and almost never come to bait as adults.
Omiodes is a moth genus in the family Crambidae. Several species are endemic to Hawaii.
Lymantria is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. They are widely distributed throughout Europe, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Java, and Celebes. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Pycnarmon is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Julius Lederer in 1863.
Patania is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Moore in 1888.
Bertula is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1859.
Dichromia is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae first described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Hydrillodes is a genus of litter moths of the family Erebidae first described by Achille Guenée in 1854. Its validity is somewhat disputed.
Antheraea is a moth genus belonging to the family Saturniidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Several species of this genus have caterpillars which produce wild silk of commercial importance. Commonly called "tussar silk", the moths are named tussar moths after the fabric.
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.
Katha prabana is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Frederic Moore in 1859. It is found on the Sula Islands, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, the Moluccas and in Myanmar. The habitat consists of lowland areas.
Margaroniini is a tribe of the species-rich subfamily Spilomelinae in the pyraloid moth family Crambidae. The tribe was erected by Charles Swinhoe and Everard Charles Cotes in 1889.
