Eyralpenus is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875. The moths in the genus are found in the Afrotropics. [1]
Aethalida is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae that occur in the Sundaland and Philippines.
Amerila is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.
Bucaea is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The moths in the genus are found in Hindustan.
Cyana is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. Species are well distributed in Africa, Madagascar, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Epilacydes is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875. The moths are found in the Afrotropics.
Lemyra is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus contains many species from East and South Asia, Sundaland and Australia. It was described by Francis Walker in 1856.
Leucaloa is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The moths in the genus are found in the Afrotropics.
Menegites is a genus of moth in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics.
Spilarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875.
Spilosoma is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae originally described by John Curtis in 1825. A very heterogeneous group, it is in need of review by the scientific community, as certain species probably need reclassification into their own genera.
Teracotona is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1878.
Kishidaria is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae.
Afrocoscinia is a curious genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2011. The genus includes only one species, Afrocoscinia aethiopica, described by Lars Kühne in 2010, which is found in the arid regions of the western part of South Africa. By the general appearance of wing and body shape, it looks like species of the Palearctic genus Coscinia from Callimorphina. But many other characteristics of this moth show that is it a member of the Nyctemerina.
Detoulgoetia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2006. The moths are found in Madagascar and Comores. David T. Goodger and Allan Watson (1995) note that the species of this genus have white or yellowish wings speckled with brown dots without order and with dark discal spots.
Eyralpenus meinhofi is a polymorphic tiger-moth in the family Erebidae first described by Max Bartel in 1903. It is known from the east and central Africa: Tanzania, Zambia, Zambia, Angola, Zaire ; Malawi ; Zaire ; Zimbabwe.
Madagascarctia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae from Madagascar. The genus was erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2006. As per David T. Goodger and Allan Watson (1995) the species of this genus have whitish wings speckled with brown.
Popoudina is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics. The genus was erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2006. Formerly, species of this genus were mistakenly included in Estigmene. Probably, some species of the latter genus might belong to Popoudina.
Ustjuzhania is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae from southern and eastern Africa. The genus was erected by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2009.
Radiarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from Afrotropics.
Amerila makadara is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Christoph L. Häuser and Michael Boppré in 1997. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Eswatini and Zimbabwe.
