Hectobrocha is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1886. [1] [2]
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloids.
Amata is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807.
Eressa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Halone is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae from southern Asia and Australia. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Lambula is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1866.
Philenora is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Rudolph Rosenstock in 1885.
Scaptesyle is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Francis Walker in 1854.
Dichocrocis is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Julius Lederer in 1863.
Piletocera is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was first described by Julius Lederer in 1863.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Aphomia is a genus of small moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. Some breed in the nests of Anthophila, where their caterpillars are parasitic feeders of wax, honey and pollen.
Borkhausenia is a genus of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae) described by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Among these, it belongs to subfamily Oecophorinae, wherein it is probably closely related to Hofmannophila. In the past, several other Oecophoridae have been included in Borkhausenia, as well as a few even more distant members of the superfamily Gelechioidea. Metalampra was originally described as a subgenus of Borkhausenia. Telechrysis has also been included here as a subgenus by some, while other authors have considered it a separate genus in the Oecophorinae or – if these are also considered distinct – the Amphisbatinae.
Lichenaula is a genus of Australian moth of the family Xyloryctidae.
Hectobrocha adoxa, the unadorned footman, is a species of moth of the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1886. It is known from the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria.
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.
Hectobrocha pentacyma, the five-banded footman, is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886. It is found in the Australian states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
Hectobrocha subnigra is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Thomas Pennington Lucas in 1890. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from south-eastern Queensland.
Lactura is a genus of moths in the family Lacturidae.
Agriophara is a genus of moths in the subfamily Stenomatinae. The genus was erected by Rudolph Rosenstock in 1885.
