Sir George Francis Hampson, 10th Baronet was an English entomologist.
The Pyralinae are the typical subfamily of snout moths and occur essentially worldwide, in some cases aided by involuntary introduction by humans. They are rather rare in the Americas however, and their diversity in the Australian region is also limited. Altogether, this subfamily includes about 900 described species, but new ones continue to be discovered. Like many of their relatives in the superfamily Pyraloidea, the caterpillar larvae of many Pyralinae – and in some cases even the adults – have evolved the ability to use unusual foods for nutrition; a few of these can become harmful to humans as pests of stored goods.
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 estivate as adults.
Arctia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. Therein, it belongs to the subtribe Arctiina in the tribe Arctiini in the subfamily Arctiinae. Species are well distributed throughout North America, Palearctic, India, and Sri Lanka.
Eucereon is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Naarda is a large genus of erebid moths which currently encompasses 108 species. Initially identified by Francis Walker in 1866, it is in the family Erebidae. Somewhat ruddy in appearance, this genus is primarily distinguishable for its generally slender thorax and abdomen, and straight, porrect labial palpi. Most species are dark beige, but shading can reach a deep charcoal. Most species possess muddy yellow, reniform, orbicular stigmata featured on the forewings, which is reflected bilaterally superior on some species.
Nephelomilta is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae. Its single species, Nephelomilta suffusa, is found in India's Nilgiri Mountains. Both the genus and species were first described by George Hampson; the genus in 1900 and the species in 1891.
Siccia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Nymphicula is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Paracymoriza is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Acontia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was named by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. Eusceptis, Pseudalypia and Spragueia are sometimes included in the present genus, but here they are tentatively treated as different pending further research. Many species of Tarache were also once placed here.
Araeopteron is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1893.
Eutelia is a genus of moths of the family Euteliidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Metachrostis is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Aroa is a genus of moths in the subfamily Lymantriinae first described by Francis Walker in 1855. Species are distributed in South Africa, China, throughout India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Java.
The Chrysauginae are a subfamily of snout moths. They are primarily Neotropical and include about 400 described species.
Endotricha is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1847.
Parachma is a genus of snout moths. This genus is allied to Caphys Walker, 1863Acallis Ragonot, 1891 and Zabobar Dyar, 1914.
The Metarbelidae are a family of the Cossoidea also called the carpenter or goat moths, and is sometimes treated as a subfamily, Metarbelinae of the Cossidae. No synapomorphies are shared with the Cossidae based on adult morphology. The family Metarbelidae was first described by Embrik Strand in 1909.
