Trichocerosia variabilis is a species of moth in the subfamily Arctiinae. It was first described by Rothschild in 1901 and is found in Papua New Guinea. [1]
Plusiinae is a smallish subfamily of the moth family Noctuidae. As the Noctuidae appear to be a paraphyletic assemblage, the Plusiinae may eventually be raised to family status.
Amata is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807.
Amerila is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix.
Asura is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Halysidota is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1819.
Lemyra is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus contains many species from East and South Asia, Sundaland and Australia. It was described by Francis Walker in 1856.

Spilarctia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1875.
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.

The purple-shaded gem is a moth of the family Noctuidae.
Ambulycini is a tribe of moths of the family Sphingidae first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1876.
