Mimallonidae (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named species in 43 genera. These moths are found only in the New World, with most taxa occurring in the Neotropics. Adult moths are externally similar to those belonging to some of the other Macroheterocera families Bombycoidea and Drepanoidea, and thus have been variously treated as belonging to either one of these or other superfamilies.

He was born in Newark, Ohio.
Apatelodidae, the American silkworm moths, is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are a family within the superfamily Bombycoidea, though they have in the past been considered a subfamily of Bombycidae.
Cisthene is a genus of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
The genus Crambus includes around 155 species of moths in the family Crambidae, distributed globally. The adult stages are called crambid snout moths, while the larvae of Crambus and the related genus Herpetogramma are the sod webworms, which can damage grasses.
Lophocampa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841. It contains around 75 species.
Conchylodes is a genus of snout moths in the family Crambidae. The genus comprises 21 species and is placed in the tribe Udeini.
Lygropia is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It currently comprises 66 species, which are mostly found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa and Asia, but not in Australia.
Petrophila is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Lansdown Guilding in 1830.
Kyneria is a monotypic moth genus of the family Erebidae. Its only species, Kyneria utuadae, is known from Puerto Rico. Both the genus and the species were first described by William Schaus in 1940.
Tarache is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by Jacob Hübner. It includes most former New World Acontia species. Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms and The Global Lepidoptera Names Index report this name as a synonym of Acontia.
Herbita is a Neotropical genus of moths in the family Geometridae, erected in 1860 by Francis Walker. Species resemble those of Ira, Microgonia and Oxydia, but can be told apart from these by the male genitalia, where the defining characteristics of those three genera are absent in Herbita. Many but not all species of Herbita feature broken, wavy or indistinct line markings and a triangle of three dark brown or pale grey dots on the forewing. Species occur from Mexico south to Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Leptostales is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Lobocleta is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Warren in 1906.
William Schaus was an American entomologist who became known for his major contribution to the knowledge and description of new species of the Neotropical Lepidoptera.
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.
Moncina is a subtribe of butterflies in the skipper subfamily Hesperiinae.
Asciodes denticulinea is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Schaus in 1940. It is found in Puerto Rico.
