Spiralisigna is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
The false stag beetles (Diphyllostoma) are a group of three species of rare beetles known only from California. Almost nothing is known of their life history beyond that the adults are diurnal and females are flightless; larvae have not been observed.
Carposinoidea, the "fruitworm moths", is a superfamily of insects in the lepidopteran order. The superfamily is also known as Copromorphoidea, which is a junior synonym. These moths are small to medium-sized and are broad-winged bearing some resemblance to the superfamilies Tortricoidea and Immoidea. The antennae are often "pectinate" especially in males, and many species of these well camouflaged moths bear raised tufts of scales on the wings and a specialised fringe of scales at the base of the hindwing sometimes in females only; there are a number of other structural characteristics. The position of this superfamily is not certain, but it has been placed in the natural group of "Apoditrysia" "Obtectomera", rather than with the superfamilies Alucitoidea or Epermenioidea within which it has sometimes previously been placed, on the grounds that shared larval and pupal characteristics of these groups have probably evolved independently. It has been suggested that the division into two families should be abandoned.
The Bistonini are a tribe of geometer moths in subfamily Ennominae. As numerous ennomine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. In addition, the entire tribe is sometimes merged into a much-expanded Boarmiini. In other treatments, the Erannini are included in the present group.
The Abraxini are a tribe of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. Here, the Cassymini are considered a specialized offshoot of the Abraxini and merged therein; some authors consider them a distinct tribe however.
Lyclene is a genus of lichen moths of the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Frederic Moore in 1860.
Macaduma is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae.
Manoba is a genus of moths in the family Nolidae. The genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1863.
Avatha is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Bocula is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852.
Ophyx is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae.
Bosara is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Carbia is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae.
Herochroma is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Charles Swinhoe in 1893.
Asthenini is a tribe of geometer moths under subfamily Larentiinae first described by Warren in 1893. The tribe has been combined with Eupitheciini in the past, most notably by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in his work The Moths of Borneo.
Spiralisigna gloriae is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Hong Kong.
Spiralisigna angusta is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in the United Arab Emirates.
Spiralisigna acidna is a moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in Australia and the south-western Pacific, including Fiji.
Stictane is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae erected by George Hampson in 1900.
Eupterote is a genus of moths in the family Eupterotidae. It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1820.
Pseudobistonidae is a family of Asian moths in the superfamily Geometroidea. It was erected in 2015 and contained Pseudobiston pinratanai as its only species. A second species was moved into this family in 2019: Heracula discivitta, in a new subfamily called Heraculinae.
