Hypenagonia is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae first described by George Hampson in 1893. [1] [2] [3] The adult moths have pale brown wings with a dark band across each wing. The wingspan of these moths is about 1 centimeter. [4]
The genus has previously been classified in the subfamily Hypeninae within either the families Erebidae or Noctuidae.
Palpi of moderate length, where the second joint fringed with scaled above. Third joint minute. Frontal tuft short. Antennae annulate (ringed). Thorax and abdomen smoothly scaled. Tibia hairless. Forewings long and narrow. Outer margin angled at middle. Veins 7 to 9 stalked. Hindwings with highly angled outer margin at middle and excised towards anal angle. Veins 3, 4 and 6, 7 stalked, whereas vein 5 from near lower angle of cell. [5]
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.
Naarda is a large genus of erebid moths currently encompassing 108 species. Initially identified by Francis Walker in 1866, it is in the family Erebidae. Somewhat ruddy in appearance, this genus is distinguishable for its generally slender thorax and abdomen, and straight, porrect labial palpi. Most species are a light tan color, but shading can reach as deep as a charcoal, with muddy yellow, conspicuous reniform, orbicular stigmata featured on the forewings, sometimes reflected bilaterally superior.

Euproctis is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Species are cosmopolitan, widespread throughout Palearctic, African, Oriental and Australian regions. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently understood comprises a large number of unrelated lineages, only a few of which have names, and is therefore in serious need of revision.
