| Pseudosphex consobrina Walker, 1856 | |
Pseudosphex consobrina is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1856. It is found in the Amazon region. [1]
William Walker was an American physician, lawyer, journalist, and mercenary. In the era of the expansion of the United States, driven by the doctrine of "manifest destiny", Walker organized unauthorized military expeditions into Mexico and Central America with the intention of establishing slaveholding colonies. Such an enterprise was known at the time as "filibustering".

Pseudosphex is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818. These moths are mimics of a variety of Hymenoptera. The prefix pseudo means "false", and Sphex is a genus of wasps.
Dysgonia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1823.
Mesocolpia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Gondysia consobrina, the consobrina darkwing moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found in the US, from North Carolina to Louisiana. Specimens have been recorded from all of the south-eastern states in the range except Alabama and Tennessee.

Mesocolpia consobrina is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by William Warren in 1901. It is found on São Tomé Island, Angola, DR Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South Africa.
Cerconota is a genus of moths in the family Depressariidae. In 1991, I. W. B. Nye and David Stephen Fletcher included it in the family Oecophoridae and the subfamily Stenomatinae. It was later placed in the family Elachistidae and subfamily Stenomatinae by Ronald W. Hodges, in Niels Peder Kristensen (1999). Other classifications placed them in the Elachistidae or Oecophoridae, but they actually seem to belong to the Depressariidae.

These two subtribes make up around 3,000 valid species, the majority of which occur in the Neotropics.
