Leucaloa is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The moths in the genus are found in the Afrotropics.
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.

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.
