Macromphaliinae is a subfamily of the moth family Lasiocampidae. The subfamily was first described by John G. Franclemont in 1973.
Noctuoidea is the superfamily of noctuid or "owlet" moths, and has more than 70,000 described species, the largest number of any Lepidopteran superfamily. Its classification has not yet reached a satisfactory or stable state. Since the end of the 20th century, increasing availability of molecular phylogenetic data for this hugely successful radiation has led to several competing proposals for a taxonomic arrangement that correctly represents the relationships between the major lineages.
Mythimna is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
Planorbidae, common name the ramshorn snails or ram's horn snails, is a family of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Unlike most molluscs, the blood of ram's horn snails contains iron-based hemoglobin instead of copper-based hemocyanin. As a result, planorbids are able to breathe oxygen more efficiently than other molluscs. The presence of hemoglobin gives the body a reddish colour. This is especially apparent in albino animals.
The Lasiocampinae are a subfamily of the moth family Lasiocampidae. The subfamily was described by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841.
Amphipyrinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 50 genera and 210 described species in Amphipyrinae, although the classifications are likely to change over time.
The Xylenini are a mid-sized tribe of moths in the Hadeninae subfamily. There is some dispute about this tribe. Some resources have these genera listed under subfamily Cuculliinae instead, or upranked them to a distinct subfamily Xyleninae.
Metarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae and subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Zale is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Lithophane is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. They spend the winter as adults. Some species are capable of feeding on other caterpillars or on sawfly larvae, which is rather uncommon among Lepidoptera.
Artace is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Tolype is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Limenitis weidemeyerii, or Weidemeyer's admiral, is a butterfly from the subfamily Nymphalinae, found in western North America.
Sparganothis is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.
Hemileucinae is a subfamily of the family Saturniidae, including a number of taxa whose caterpillars have venomous urticating hairs.
Phiditiidae is a family of moths. The family used to be placed as a subfamily (Phiditiinae) in the family Bombycidae.
The Syntomini are a tribe of moths in the family Erebidae. The tribe was erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1846.
Bombyliinae is a subfamily of bee flies in the family Bombyliidae. There are more than 70 genera in Bombyliinae.
Psaphidini is a tribe of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are at least 40 genera and at least 90 described species in Psaphidini.
