Spilarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875.
Spilarctia species are often included in Spilosoma .
Utetheisa is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Aethalida is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae that occur in the Sundaland and Philippines.
Amata is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807.
Amerila is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.
Ammatho is a genus of erebid moths, first described by Francis Walker in 1855.
Asura is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae, and subtribe Nudariina erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Barsine is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Ceryx is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It was described by Hans Daniel Johan Wallengren in 1863.
Cyana is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. Species are well distributed in Africa, Madagascar, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.

Spilosoma is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae originally described by John Curtis in 1825. A very heterogeneous group, it is in need of review by the scientific community, as certain species probably need reclassification into their own genera.
Teracotona is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from the Afrotropics. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1878.
Calliteara is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881.
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.
The Nyctemerina are a subtribe of woolly bear moths in the family Erebidae.
