Copromorphidae, the "tropical fruitworm moths" is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. These moths have broad, rounded forewings, and well-camouflaged scale patterns. Unlike Carposinidae the mouthparts include "labial palps" with the second rather than third segment the longest. With other unusual structural characteristics of the caterpillar and adult, it could represent the sister lineage of all other extant members of this superfamily. The genus Sisyroxena from Madagascar is also notable for its unusual venation and wing scale sockets.
Idaea, sometimes called Hyriogona, is a large genus of geometer moths. They are found nearly worldwide, with many native to the Mediterranean, the African savannas, and the deserts of western Asia.
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.
The Archipini are a tribe of tortrix moths. Since many genera of these are not yet assigned to tribes, the genus list presented here is provisional.
Chenuala is a monotypic moth genus in the family Anthelidae described by Charles Swinhoe in 1892. Its only species, Chenuala heliaspis, the rose anthelid, was described by Edward Meyrick in 1891. It is endemic to Australia.
Mnesampela privata, the autumn gum moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1858. It is found in most of Australia.
Syneora hemeropa, the ring-tipped bark moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Meyrick in 1892. It is found in Tasmania, Australia.
Gastrinodes is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by William Warren in 1898. Its species occur in Australia. Its type species is G. bitaeniaria, originally described as Geometra bitaeniaria.
Mnesampela is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was described by Edward Guest in 1887.
Mochlotona is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Mochlotona phasmatias, is known from Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1892.
Psilosticha is a genus of moth in the family Geometridae first described by Meyrick in 1892.
Syneora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1917. All the species are found in Australia.
Scopulini is a tribe of the geometer moth family (Geometridae), with about 900 species in seven genera. The tribe was described by Philogène Auguste Joseph Duponchel in 1845.
Ogmograptis scribula, the scribbly gum moth, is a moth of the Bucculatricidae family. It is found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland.
Lichenaula is a genus of Australian moth of the Xyloryctidae family.
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.
Miscera is a genus of moths in the family Brachodidae.
Ogmograptis, the scribbly gum moths, is a genus in the Bucculatricidae family and were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1935, as a monotypic genus. They are found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. However in 2007, Cooke and Edwards argued that the patterning of the scribbles was different for each of the three eucalypts, Eucalyptus pauciflora, E. racemosa ssp. rossii, and E. delegatensis) and that it was likely that these differing patterns were caused by different species of scribbly gum moths.
