Tonza is a genus of moths in the family Plutellidae [2] or Tonzidae. [3] [4] [5]
Batrachedra is the largest genus in the moth family Batrachedridae, with representatives all over the world. The early stages of most species are unknown. The genus name is derived from the Greek words batrachos, 'frog', and edra, 'seat', referring to the frog-like resting posture of the adult moths. As of 2018 at least some 114 species are known to belong to the genus.
The Plutellidae are a family of moths commonly known as the diamondback moths, named after the diamondback moth of European origin. It was once considered to have three subfamilies: Plutellinae, Praydinae, and Scythropiinae. Praydinae was later elevated to its own family, Praydidae, while Scythropiinae has variously been moved to Yponomeutidae or also elevated to its own family.
Anarsia is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae.
Pyroderces is a genus of cosmet moths. It belongs to subfamily Cosmopteriginae. Some authors include Anatrachyntis here.
Amphixystis is a genus of moths belonging to the family Tineidae. The family was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1901.
Opogona is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Hieroxestinae. As it includes Opogona omoscopa, the type species of the now-abolished genus Hieroxestis, it is the type genus of its subfamily.
