Porela is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. [1] All species are known from Australia. [2]
The following species are recognised in the genus Porela: [3]
Lymantria is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. They are widely distributed throughout Europe, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Java, and Celebes. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Pinara is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Palpita is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. Members of the moth genus Stemorrhages may be very similar in appearance.
Syllepte is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae.
Scoparia is a grass moth genus of subfamily Scopariinae. Some authors have assigned the synonymous taxon Sineudonia to the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.
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. Molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus as presently understood comprises a large number of unrelated lineages, only a few of which have names, and is therefore in serious need of revision.
Iropoca is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Lymantriinae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1904. Its only species, Iropoca rotundata, the iropoca moth, was first described by Francis Walker in 1855. It is found in the Australian states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Artace is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Entometa is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. All species are from Australia.
Euglyphis is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Pararguda is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by George Thomas Bethune-Baker in 1908. All the species identified in this genus were found in Australia.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Porela vetusta, the ancient porela, is a moth of the family Lasiocampidae. It was first described by Francis Walker in 1855. It is found in the Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria.
Eupterote is a genus of moths in the family Eupterotidae. It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Pleurota is a genus of moths belonging to the family Oecophoridae. The species of this genus are found in Europe, southern Africa and North America.
