Clethrogyna is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Rambur in 1866. [1]
The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 genera and 11,772 species. However, this classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae.
Jean Baptiste Alphonse Déchauffour de Boisduval was a French lepidopterist, botanist, and physician.
Noctuoidea is the superfamily of noctuid or "owlet" moths, and has more than 70,000 described species, the largest number of for any Lepidopteran superfamily. Its classification has not yet reached a satisfactory or stable state. Since the end of the 20th century, increasing availability of molecular phylogenetic data for this hugely successful radiation has led to several competing proposals for a taxonomic arrangement that correctly represents the relationships between the major lineages.
Jules Pierre Rambur was a French entomologist.
Pyrgus is a genus in the skippers butterfly family, Hesperiidae, known as the grizzled skippers. The name "grizzled skipper" best describes this genus, but in some countries the name "checkered" or "chequered skipper" is applied to some species. Strictly speaking, "chequered skippers" applies to butterflies of the genus Carterocephalus. They occur in the Holarctic with an additional group of species extending to the Neotropic.
Agrotis is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. A number of the species of this genus are extinct.
Chelis is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae.
Chetone is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1870.
Cymbalophora is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae described by Rambur in 1866.
Damias is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1832.
Grammia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Rambur in 1866.
Ocnogyna is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from western Eurasia. The genus was erected by Julius Lederer in 1853. One aberrant species, Ocnogyna parasita, has females with non-functional wings, and because of this was formerly placed in its own genus Somatrichia, but is now in Ocnogyna.
Cocytia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae. Its only species, Cocytia durvillii, is an uncommon day-flying moth found in lowland areas of the Moluccas, Aru, and New Guinea. The species has clear wings bordered with black, with an orange patch at the base of each forewing and long antennae, thicker at the outer end. Both the genus and species were first described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1828.
Zethes is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae first described by Rambur in 1833.
Odice is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Phyllodes is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1832
Amata huebneri, the wasp moth, is a moth in the genus Amata of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1829. It is found from the Indo Australian tropics to northern Australia.
Asota is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Species are widely distributed throughout Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, the Malayan region and tropical parts of the Australian region.
Shargacucullia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
