Cyphura is a genus of moths in the family Uraniidae. The genus was erected by William Warren in 1902. [2]
The genus includes primarily nocturnal or crepuscular moths that are found in the Australasian tropical areas. Species have a generally pale or nearly-white colouration with brown or dark patterns. [3] The larvae live in webbing of the host plant. [4]
The Uraniinae or uraniine moths are a subfamily of moths in the family Uraniidae. It contains seven genera that occur in the tropics of the world.

Euproctis is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Species are cosmopolitan, widespread throughout Palearctic, African, Oriental and Australian regions. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently understood comprises a large number of unrelated lineages, only a few of which have names, and is therefore in serious need of revision.
