Ennomos is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1825.
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first. They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths", for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales. There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus Thambotricha from New Zealand may be the sister group of all other extant members. The most important genera are Epermenia, Ochromolopis and Gnathifera. The group has been extensively revised and catalogued by Dr Reinhard Gaedike.
The Ennomini are a tribe of geometer moths in the Ennominae subfamily. They are large-bodied and rather nondescript Ennominae, overall showing many similarities to the closely related Azelinini and Nacophorini.
The Caradrinini are a mid-sized tribe of moths in the family Noctuidae.
Ennomos fuscantaria, the dusky thorn, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species can be found in the western part of the Palearctic realm in western Europe and from central Scandinavia its range extends to the northern Mediterranean and east to Russia.
Mythimna straminea, the southern wainscot, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1825. It is found in the western parts of the Palearctic realm, including Morocco, Europe, Turkey, the Caucasus, Israel, and Lebanon.
Cryphia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Euphyia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Operophtera is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Polypogon plumigeralis, the plumed fan-foot, is a species of litter moth of the family Erebidae found in Africa, Asia and Europe. It was first described by the German entomologist Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Ennomos quercaria, the clouded August thorn, is a species of moth in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1813. It is mostly found in southern Europe. There are two dubious records from Britain, one in the 19th century, then again in south-east England in 1992.
Chesiadini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe was described by Stephens in 1850.
Larentiini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe was first described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845.
Ennomos subsignaria, the elm spanworm moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. It is found in North America from Texas (south) to Alberta (northwest) and east to the Atlantic coast. It is recorded infrequently in Great Britain through accidental importation in asparagus.
Ennomos magnaria, the maple spanworm moth, notched wing moth, notched-wing geometer or notch-wing moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1858. It is found from coast to coast in southern Canada and the northern United States, south in the east to Florida and Louisiana and in the west to California.
Aristotelia brizella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Switzerland and most of the Balkan Peninsula. Outside of Europe, it is found in North Africa and the Near East.
Gnophini is a tribe of moths.
