Notodryas is a genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae. [2] Its species all occur in Australia. [1]
Epermeniidae or the fringe-tufted moths is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order with about 14 genera. Previously they have been divided in two subfamilies Epermeniinae and Ochromolopinae but this is no longer maintained since the last group is probably hierarchically nested within the first. They are presently placed in their own superfamily but have previously been placed among the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea with which they share some features. Their systematic placement among the apoditrysian group "Obtectomera" is however uncertain. They show some morphological similarities to the "plume moths", for example the wing fringe has similar groups of scales. There are also some similarities to Schreckensteinioidea, for example spiny legs and at least in some species an open-network cocoon. The genus Thambotricha from New Zealand may be the sister group of all other extant members. The most important genera are Epermenia, Ochromolopis and Gnathifera. The group has been extensively revised and catalogued by Dr Reinhard Gaedike.
Batrachedra is the largest genus in the moth family Batrachedridae, with representatives all over the world. The early stages of most species are unknown. The genus name is derived from the Greek words batrachos, 'frog', and edra, 'seat', referring to the frog-like resting posture of the adult moths. As of 2018 at least some 114 species are known to belong to the genus.
Anacampsis is a worldwide genus of moth with most found in the nearctic and neotropical regions. It is in the family Gelechiidae. The larvae feed on a range of deciduous trees and shrubs in a rolled or folded leaf, or spun shoot.
Megacraspedus is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae, found primarily in the Palearctic.
Bradina is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae.
Xenopseustis is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae. Its only species, Xenopseustis poecilastis, is found in the Australian state of Queensland. Both the genus and species were first described by Edward Meyrick in 1897.
Anatrachyntis is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Some authors include it in Pyroderces.
Labdia is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae.
The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.
Elachista is a genus of gelechioid moths described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1833. It is the type genus of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae). This family is sometimes circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to Oecophora than to Elachista and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here.
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.
Hoplophanes is genus of moths of the family Heliozelidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1897.
Acentropinae is a fairly small subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. Species of this subfamily are exclusively found in wetlands and aquatic habitats.
Gracillariinae are a subfamily of moths which was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1854.
Ascalenia semnostola is a moth in the family Cosmopterigidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1897. It was described from the Australian state of New South Wales, but has also been recorded from South Africa.
Epermenia is a genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae. The genus was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Gnathifera is a genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae.
Ochromolopis is a genus of moths in the family Epermeniidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1824.
Notodryas aeria is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1897. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria.
Notodryas callierga is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.
