Tepilia is a genus of moths of the family Phiditiidae first described by Francis Walker in 1855.
The genus was originally established in Drepanidae, but was later placed in the Lymantriidae by Schaus in 1927 and the Apatelodidae by Minet in 1986. Lemaire and Minet placed it in the subfamily Phiditiinae in 1999. [2] This subfamily was raised to family level in 2011. [3]
Mimallonidae Burmeister (mimallonids), sometimes known as "sack-bearer" moths for the larval case-building behavior, are a family of Lepidoptera containing over 300 named species in 43 genera. These moths are found only in the New World, with most taxa occurring in the Neotropics. Adult moths are externally similar to those belonging to some of the other Macroheterocera families Bombycoidea and Drepanoidea, and thus have been variously treated as belonging to either one of these or other superfamilies.
Epicopeiidae is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are known as oriental swallowtail moths as they closely resemble some oriental swallowtail butterflies. Epicopeiidae have highly varied structure in regards to body size and wing shape. Epicopeiidaen wing patterns are involved in complicated mimicry rings.
The Bombycidae are a family of moths known as silkworm moths. The best-known species is Bombyx mori (Linnaeus), or domestic silk moth, native to northern China and domesticated for millennia. Another well-known species is Bombyx mandarina, also native to Asia.
Apatelodidae, the American silkworm moths, is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are a family within the superfamily Bombycoidea, though they have in the past been considered a subfamily of Bombycidae.
Paracles is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was described by Francis Walker in 1855. The species range from Panama to Patagonia, with quite a few in the southern temperate region of South America.
Saurita is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855.
Phytometra is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1809.
Eloria is a genus of moths in the subfamily Lymantriinae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Sarsina is a genus of moths in the subfamily Lymantriinae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Thagona is a genus of moths in the subfamily Lymantriinae. The genus was erected by Heinrich Benno Möschler in 1883.

Rolepa is a genus of moths of the family Phiditiidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855.
Sorocaba is a monotypic moth genus of the family Phiditiidae. Its only species, Sorocaba anomala, is found in São Paulo, Brazil. Both the species and genus were described by Frederic Moore in 1882.
Drepana is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1802.
Nystaleinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae. The subfamily was described by William Trowbridge Merrifield Forbes in 1948.
Acraga is a genus of moths of the family Dalceridae.
