Gabara is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1866. [1]
The genus was previously classified in the subfamily Calpinae of the family Noctuidae. The genus includes the following species:
Acronicta is a genus of noctuid moths containing about 150 species distributed mainly in the temperate Holarctic, with some in adjacent subtropical regions. The genus was erected by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Caterpillars of most Acronicta species are unmistakable, with brightly colored hairy spikes, and often feed quite visibly on common foliate trees. The hairy spikes may contain poison, which cause itchy, painful, swollen rash in humans on contact. The larva of the smeared dagger moth is unusually hairy even for this genus. Acronicta species are generally known as dagger moths, as most have one or more black dagger-shaped markings on their forewing uppersides. But some species have a conspicuous dark ring marking instead.
Apamea is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
The Calpinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1840. This subfamily includes many species of moths that have a pointed and barbed proboscis adapted to piercing the skins of fruit to feed on juice, and in the case of the several Calyptra species of vampire moths, to piercing the skins of mammals to feed on blood. The subfamily contains some large moths with wingspans longer than 5 cm (2 in).
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 come to bait as adults.
Anicla is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Aseptis is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by James Halliday McDunnough in 1937.
Zale is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Zanclognatha is a genus of litter moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Julius Lederer in 1857.
Isogona is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852.
Drasteria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Hemeroplanis is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Homohadena was a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae, it is now considered a synonym of Sympistis.
Lithophane is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Metalectra is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Oligia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1821.
Oxycnemis is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882.
Paectes is a genus of moths of the family Euteliidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Tarache is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by Jacob Hübner. It includes most former New World Acontia species. Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms and The Global Lepidoptera Names Index report this name as a synonym of Acontia.
Heliothinae is a small subfamily of moths in the family Noctuidae. There are about 400 species described worldwide. They are found predominantly in semiarid subtropical habitats.
Noctuini is a tribe of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are at least 520 described species in Noctuini.
