Melitulias is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Edward Meyrick in 1891. All are found in Australia. [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.
The Plutellidae are a family of moths commonly known as the diamondback moths, named after the diamondback moth of European origin. It was once considered to have three subfamilies: Plutellinae, Praydinae, and Scythropiinae. Praydinae was later elevated to its own family, Praydidae, while Scythropiinae has variously been moved to Yponomeutidae or also elevated to its own family.
Amata is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807.
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
Elaphristis is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1891.
Chrysolarentia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1882. It is mainly found in Australia with one species found also in New Zealand.
Epyaxa is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Edward Meyrick in 1883.
Poecilasthena is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Strepsicrates is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Olethreutinae of the family Tortricidae.
Hydriomenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae. The tribe was erected by Edward Meyrick in 1872.
Caloptilia is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Acrocercops is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. More than 720 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
The Phycitini are a tribe of moths of the family Pyralidae.
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.
Musotiminae is a subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1884
Procometis is a genus of moths in the family Autostichidae.
Lactura is a genus of moths in the family Lacturidae.
