Nola is a genus of moths described by William Elford Leach in 1815. They are the namesake of the subfamily Nolinae and the family Nolidae. This genus occurs worldwide wherever suitable habitat is present.
Palpi porrect (extending forward), moderately long with thick scales. Antennae fasciculated in male. Mid tibia with single spur pair, whereas hind tibia with two pairs. Forewings with vein 5 from angle of cell, vein 6 from upper angle, veins 7 and 8 stalked and veins 8 and 10 absent. Hindwing with vein 3 from before angle of cell, vein 5 absent, veins 6 and 7 stalked and vein 8 from middle of cell. [1]
The English zoologist William Elford Leach Leach raised the genus Nola in 1815 and placed it in the Tortricidae family. The genus is possibly named after the town in Campania, Italy. This was one of the earliest examples of using a place for the name of a genus, although he did not give an explanation as to why he chose Nola. It was one of the earliest examples of using a place for the name of a genus. [2]
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, as well as genetic analyses.
Omiodes is a moth genus in the family Crambidae. Several species are endemic to Hawaii.
Manoba is a genus of moths in the family Nolidae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1863.
Trichromia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819. The members of this genus are largely indigenous to South America.
Glyphodes is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Achille Guenée in 1854.
Herpetogramma is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae described by Julius Lederer in 1863. It currently comprises 106 species that are found in North America, Eurasia, Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America. Of the few species where host plants are known, the larvae mostly feed on grasses.
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 216 species are present on all continents except Antarctica. About 41 species are native to Hawaii.
Loxostege is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Pyrausta is a speciose genus of moths of the family Crambidae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Syllepte is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae.
Anomis is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Deltote is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was described by Reichenbach in 1817.
Leucania is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
Lithacodia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Cyclophora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Many species are referred to as mochas in reference to their colouration, primarily in Europe.
Scopula is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae described by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Meganola is a genus of moths of the family Nolidae. The genus was erected by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1898. It is sometimes considered a synonym of Roeselia.
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.
