Platypepla is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
The South American foxes (Lycalopex), commonly called raposa in Portuguese, or zorro in Spanish, are a genus from South America of the subfamily Caninae. Despite their name, they are not true foxes, but are a unique canid genus more closely related to wolves and jackals than to true foxes; some of them resemble foxes due to convergent evolution. The South American gray fox, Lycalopex griseus, is the most common species, and is known for its large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt.
The Macariini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Though they share many traits with the Sterrhinae, this is probably plesiomorphic rather than indicative of a close relationship, and DNA sequence data points to the Boarmiini as particularly close relatives of the Macariini. All things considered, this tribe might still resemble the first Ennominae more than any other living lineage in the subfamily.
The Thyatirinae, or false owlet moths, are a subfamily of the moth family Drepanidae with about 200 species described. Until recently, most classifications treated this group as a separate family called Thyatiridae.
Almasaurus is an extinct genus of trematosaurian temnospondyl within the family Latiscopidae. It is known from several skulls and some postcranial material found from the Argana Formation in Morocco, which dates back to the Late Triassic.
Lapillopsis is an extinct genus of stereospondyl temnospondyl within the family Lapillopsidae. Fossils belonging to the genus have been found in the Arcadia Formation of Queensland, Australia.
Abraxas, the magpie moths, is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. It was first described by William Elford Leach in 1815.
Asthena is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Asthenotricha is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Calluga is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Chaetolopha is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Most species are endemic to Australia. A number of species previously assigned to this genus, were reassigned to the new genus Parachaetolopha in 2002.
Herochroma is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Charles Swinhoe in 1893.
Hybridoneura is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Leptostales is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Poecilasthena is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Somatina is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae first described by Achille Guenée in 1858.
Synchlora is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae erected by Achille Guenée in 1857. Adult Synchlora members often have leaf green wings, while larvae occasionally have the property of adorning themselves with pieces of plants in the pursuit of camouflage. The name of the genus comes from Greek, with "syn-" meaning "with", and "chlor" meaning "green".
Josia is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Asthenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with Eupitheciini in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo.
Vigilius is an extinct genus of brachyopid temnospondyl amphibian from the Triassic of Arizona. It is known from the single type species Vigilius wellesi.
Parachaetolopha is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. Most species were previously included in the genus Chaetolopha.
