Spilosoma danbyi, or Danby's tiger moth, is a moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Berthold Neumoegen and Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1893. [1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Washington and western Canada from British Columbia to Manitoba.
The wingspan is about 25 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July. [2]
The species was formerly considered a synonym of Spilosoma pteridis . [3]

Pygarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
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.
Aon noctuiformis, the aon moth, is the only species in the monotypic moth genus Aon in the family Erebidae. The species is known from the US state of Texas. Both the genus and the species were first described by Neumoegen in 1892.
Eupseudomorpha is a monotypic moth genus of the family Noctuidae erected by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1893. Its only species, Eupseudomorpha brillians, was first described by Neumoegen in 1880. It is found in the southwestern part of the US state of Texas.
Edwardsimemna is a monotypic moth genus in the family Lasiocampidae erected by Berthold Neumoegen and Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1894. Its single species, Edwardsimemna jalapae, described by Henry Edwards in 1884, is found in Mexico.
Hypopacha is a monotypic moth genus in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Berthold Neumoegen and Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1893. Its only species, Hypopacha grisea, described by Neumoegen in 1882, is found in the US states of California and Arizona.
The Epipaschiinae are a subfamily of snout moths. Almost 600 species are known today, which are found mainly in the tropics and subtropics. Some occur in temperate regions, but the subfamily is apparently completely absent from Europe, at least as native species. A few Epipaschiinae are crop pests that may occasionally become economically significant.
