Nepheloleuca, is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1883.

The Ourapterygini are one of the large tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. The tribe was described by Charles Théophile Bruand d'Uzelle in 1846. They are particularly plentiful in the Neotropics. Ourapterygini are generally held to be the youngest tribe of their subfamily, and at least seasonally have characteristic apomorphic asymmetrical processes of the anellus.

<i>Calleremites</i> Genus of moths

Calleremites is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Calleremites subornata, is found in China, Sikkim in India and Myanmar. Both the genus and species were first described by William Warren in 1894 and it has only been seen three times since then, the latest in a forest in northern Myanmar.

Cleptocosmia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae. Its only species, Cleptocosmia mutabilis, is found in Australia. Both the genus and species were first described by Warren in 1896.

<i>Didymoctenia</i> Genus of moths

Didymoctenia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Geometridae and subfamily Ennominae which was described by Warren in 1901. Its only species, Didymoctenia exsuperata, the thick-lined bark moth, was first described by Francis Walker in 1860. It is found in Australia.

<i>Drepanogynis</i> Genus of moths

Drepanogynis is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). Long considered to hold about 5 dozen species, this number has been doubled after the last major revision. They are stout-bodied and hairy by geometer moth standards, usually have pale hindwings and rest with their wings angled upwards like a roof, as Nacophorini do. The genus is by and large restricted to Africa south of the Equator, with most species occurring in southern Africa.
