Micronia is a genus of moths of subfamily Microniinae of family Uraniidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1857. The species of this genus are found in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Euproctis is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Species are cosmopolitan, widespread throughout Palearctic, African, Oriental and Australian regions.
