Mestolobes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1882. All species are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
Hyposmocoma is a genus of moths with more 350 species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The genus was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881. Most species of Hyposmocoma have plant-based diets, but four species, such as Hyposmocoma molluscivora, eat snails. The caterpillars spin silk, which they then use to capture and eat snails. These are the first caterpillars known to eat snails.
Agrotis is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. A number of the species of this genus are extinct.
Crambinae is a large subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. It currently includes over 1,800 species worldwide. The larvae are root feeders or stem borers, mostly on grasses. A few species are pests of sod grasses, maize, sugar cane, rice, and other Poaceae. The monophyly of this group is supported by the structure of the tympanal organs and the phallus attached medially to the juxta.
Omiodes is a moth genus in the family Crambidae. Several species are endemic to Hawaii.
Scotorythra is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1883. All species of this genus are endemic to Hawaii.
Bradina is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Eudonia is a large and widespread genus in the grass moth family (Crambidae), subfamily Scopariinae. There is no common name for the roughly 250 species placed here; new species are still being described regularly. Although the genus was proposed early in the 19th century already, many of these moths were for a long time retained in Scoparia, the type genus of the subfamily and a close relative of Eudonia. A few small genera have been proposed for separation from Eudonia, but given the size of this group this is not particularly convincing; thus, all are retained here pending a comprehensive phylogenetic review.
Glyphodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Lamprosema is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Udea is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1845. The currently known 214 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Haliophyle is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Lophoplusia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
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.
Fletcherana is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Zimmerman in 1958.
Mestolobes chlorolychna is a moth of the family Crambidae described by Edward Meyrick in 1899. It is endemic to the island of Hawaii.
