Thermidarctia thirmida is a moth in the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Hering in 1926. It is found in Brazil. [1]
The Gelechiidae are a family of moths commonly referred to as twirler moths or gelechiid moths. They are the namesake family of the huge and little-studied superfamily Gelechioidea, and the family's taxonomy has been subject to considerable dispute. These are generally very small moths with narrow, fringed wings. The larvae of most species feed internally on various parts of their host plants, sometimes causing galls. Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga) is a host plant common to many species of the family, particularly of the genus Chionodes, which as a result is more diverse in North America than usual for Gelechioidea.

Cydia is a large genus of tortrix moths, belonging to the tribe Grapholitini of subfamily Olethreutinae. Its distinctness from and delimitation versus the tribe's type genus Grapholita requires further study.
Copromorphidae, the "tropical fruitworm moths", is a family of insects in the lepidopteran order. These moths have broad, rounded forewings, and well-camouflaged scale patterns. Unlike Carposinidae the mouthparts include "labial palps" with the second rather than third segment the longest. With other unusual structural characteristics of the caterpillar and adult, it could represent the sister lineage of all other extant members of this superfamily. The genus Sisyroxena from Madagascar is also notable for its unusual venation and wing scale sockets.
Xestia is a genus of noctuid moths. They are the type genus of the tribe Xestiini in subfamily Noctuinae, though some authors merge this tribe with the Noctuini. Species in this genus are commonly known as "clays", "darts" or "rustics", but such names are commonplace among Noctuidae. Xestia moths have a wide distribution, though they most prominently occur in the Holarctic.
Hypatima is a genus of the twirler moth family (Gelechiidae). Among these, it belongs to a distinct lineage, which is variously treated as tribe Chelariini in subfamilies Dichomeridinae, Gelechiinae, or even Pexicopiinae, and historically was considered a subfamily in its own right, Chelariinae. Of this lineage, Hypatima – under its junior synonym Chelaria – is the type genus. This genus has numerous species, but its exact limits are not quite clear. This genus occurs mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, though one of the better-known species is the only member of this genus native to Europe, the lobster-clawed moth.
Thermidarctia is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae.
Anomis is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Dasychira is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1809. They are well distributed all over Africa, Europe, North America, Madagascar, Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Java and Australia.
Laelia is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Stephens in 1828. Species are well distributed throughout Europe, Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Java.
Erechthias is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Erechthiinae, of which it is the type genus. The exact circumscription of this genus is still disputed, but it may encompass more than 150 species.
Dioptinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae.
Scea discinota is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is known almost exclusively from localities close to the city of Mérida in Venezuela. However, there is a single record from the State of Lara. It is engaged in mimicry with Thermidarctia thermidoides.
Brachyglene is a genus of moths of the family Notodontidae. It consists of the following species:
Phyllocnistis is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
"Brachyglene" thirmida is a moth of the family Notodontidae first described by Hering in 1925. It is found in Bolivia.
Euchlaenidia wirthi is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Schaus in 1933. It is found in Venezuela.
Thermidarctia thermidoides is a moth in the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by George Talbot in 1929. It is found in Venezuela.
