Discophlebia is a genus of moths of the family Oenosandridae first described by Rudolf Felder in 1874.
The Cossinae are the nominate subfamily of the Cossidae. The caterpillars of several Cossinae species, such as the carpenterworm and the goat moth, are significant pests. On the other hand, in Chile the caterpillars of the Chilean moth are collected on a commercial scale for sale as fishing bait and terrarium pet food; they are usually called "butterworms" in international trade.
Hypochrysops is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae first described by Cajetan Felder and Rudolf Felder in 1860. This particular genus is exclusive to the Australian area with only a few species straying into Papua New Guinea.
Imma is a large genus of moths in the obtectomeran "micromoth" family Immidae. This is the type genus of its family. They are widespread in the tropics, with most species occurring between the Himalayas and the Oceanian region; the genus is furthermore plentiful in the Neotropics, but not very diverse in the Afrotropics.
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.
Proteuxoa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1903.
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.
Porela is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. All species are known from Australia.
Dichromodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1857. The type species is Dichromodes ainaria.
Milionia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Macroglossini is a tribe of moths of the family Sphingidae described by Thaddeus William Harris in 1839.
Discophlebia celaena, the variable stub moth, is a moth of the family Oenosandridae. The species was first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1903. It is found in the south-east quarter of Australia.
Discophlebia lipauges is a moth of the family Oenosandridae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917. It is found in Australia.
Sagalassa is a genus of moths in the family Brachodidae.
Lactura is a genus of moths in the family Lacturidae.
