Oenosandridae is a family of Australian noctuoid moths. Genera include:
Notodontidae is a family of moths with approximately 3,800 known species. The family was described by James Francis Stephens in 1829. Moths of this family are found in all parts of the world, but they are most concentrated in tropical areas, especially in the New World.
The coxcomb prominent is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is a common species throughout the Palearctic realm from Ireland to Japan. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
The buff-tip is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found throughout Europe and in Asia to eastern Siberia. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
Noctuoidea is the superfamily of noctuid or "owlet" moths, and has more than 70,000 described species, the largest number of any Lepidopteran superfamily. Its classification has not yet reached a satisfactory or stable state. Since the end of the 20th century, increasing availability of molecular phylogenetic data for this hugely successful radiation has led to several competing proposals for a taxonomic arrangement that correctly represents the relationships between the major lineages.
Notodontinae is the nominate subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae. The Ptilodoninae are sometimes merged herein. The genus list is preliminary, as not all Notodontidae have been assigned to subfamilies yet.
Pygaerinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae, the silver prominents and relatives. The genus list is preliminary, as not all Notodontidae have been assigned to subfamilies yet.
Stauropus alternus, the lobster caterpillar, lobster moth or crab caterpillar, is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in the north-eastern Himalaya, Sri Lanka, Sundaland, the Philippines, Sulawesi and the southern Moluccas. It was described by Francis Walker in 1855.
Dioptinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae.
Oricia is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae. It was described in 1854 by English entomologist Francis Walker and contains four species distributed in Central and South America.
Disphragis is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820. The genus is confined to the New World and it contains about 137 species.
Xenorma australis is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in Brazil.
Phaeochlaena gyon is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787. It is endemic to the Guyana Shield and points west, at least as far as the Upper Amazon basin of Colombia and Ecuador.
Somera is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Dunama is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae described by William Schaus in 1912.
Nystaleinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae. The subfamily was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1948.
Heterocampinae is a subfamily of prominent moths in the family Notodontidae. There are at least 60 described species of Heterocampinae in North America.
