Gardinia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. [1]
The Elachistidae are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths.
Epicopeiidae is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are known as oriental swallowtail moths as they closely resemble some oriental swallowtail butterflies. Epicopeiidae have highly varied structure in regards to body size and wing shape. Epicopeiidaen wing patterns are involved in complicated mimicry rings.
The Phaegopterina are a subtribe of tiger moths in the tribe Arctiini, which is part of the family Erebidae. The subtribe was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. 469 species of Phaegopterina are present and 52 that are recently discovered in Brazil.
Aemilia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. It was initially named Ameles, but this name properly refers to a praying mantis genus.
Calodesma is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Crocomela is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
Ctenucha is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Eriphioides is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
Hypatia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
The Zygaeninae are a subfamily of the Zygaenidae family of moths. These are day-flying moths. Species of the genus Zygaena are native to the West Palearctic, while the genus Reissita is found on the Arabian Peninsula. They are able to biosynthesise hydrogen cyanide, and their bright patterns are warning colours to potential predators.
Pseudophaloe is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Hering in 1925.
Sebastia is a monotypic tiger moth genus in the family Erebidae described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. Its only species, Sebastia argus, was first described by Francis Walker in 1862. It can be found in Yunnan and Bangladesh.
Zebeeba is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. Its only species, Zebeeba falsalis, was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1839. It is found in northern Africa, southern Europe, Asia Minor and the Levant.
Heraclia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Psychophora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by William Kirby in 1824.
Dysdaemonia is a genus of moths in the family Saturniidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Xyloryctidae is a family of moths contained within the superfamily Gelechioidea described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. Most genera are found in the Indo-Australian region. While many of these moths are tiny, some members of the family grow to a wingspan of up to 66 mm, making them giants among the micromoths.
Nossa is a genus of moths in the family Epicopeiidae. The genus was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892.
Gardinia anopla is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is found in Arizona.
Gardinia boliviensis is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Hering in 1925. It is found in Bolivia.
