Orthosia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. As with the genus Egira , moths in this genus are sometimes called early spring millers, as adults are on wing in winter and early spring. [1]
Species in Orthosia include:
Apamea is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae first described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
Amphipyra is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, the only genus in the tribe Amphipyrini.
Mythimna is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae described by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816.
Amphipyrinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 50 genera and 210 described species in Amphipyrinae, although the classifications are likely to change over time.
Hadenini is a tribe of cutworm or dart moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 140 genera and 1,000 described species in Hadenini, found worldwide.
Agrochola is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1821.
Anaplectoides is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Conistra is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1821. There are three subgenera, Orrhodiella, Dasycampa and Peperina.
Cosmia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Cucullia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Diarsia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Egira is a moth genus in the family Noctuidae. This genus has several species, including Egira crucialis, that are on wing in winter and early spring. They are sometimes, along with members of the Orthosia genus, called early spring millers.
Eupsilia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Euxoa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae raised to Genus by the German entomologist, Jacob Hübner. The Genus is mostly confined to dry and semi dry areas in the Northern Hemisphere. There 130 species in Eurasia, a few in Africa, and 175 in North America. There are no species in the Genus in South-East Asia or in Australia. In North America, most species are found in Western regions. Of the North American species, 4 are endemic to Mexico. There is one species recorded from Chile, but this may be a mislabeled specimen. In real terms, species numbers do not equal species abundance. Some areas with few species have large numbers of the ones that do live there.
Harutaeographa is a moth genus in the family Noctuidae.
Lithophane is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. They spend the winter as adults. Some species are capable of feeding on other caterpillars or on sawfly larvae, which is rather uncommon among Lepidoptera.
Mniotype is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
