Trissobrocha eugraphica Turner, 1914 | |
Trissobrocha is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae. Its single species, Trissobrocha eugraphica, is found in Australia, [1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales and Queensland. [2] Both the genus and species were first described by Turner in 1914.
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.
The Batrachedridae are a small family of tiny moths. These are small, slender moths which rest with their wings wrapped tightly around their bodies.
The Pyralini are a tribe of snout moths described by Pierre André Latreille in 1809. They belong to the subfamily Pyralinae, which contains the "typical" snout moths of the Old World and some other regions. The genus list presented here is provisional.
Ateucheta is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae erected by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1940. Its single species, Ateucheta zatesima, was first described by George Hampson in 1914. It is found in Australia.
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.
Halone is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae from southern Asia and Australia. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Naarda is a large genus of erebid moths which currently encompasses 108 species. Initially identified by Francis Walker in 1866, it is in the family Erebidae. Somewhat ruddy in appearance, this genus is primarily distinguishable for its generally slender thorax and abdomen, and straight, porrect labial palpi. Most species are dark beige, but shading can reach a deep charcoal. Most species possess muddy yellow, reniform, orbicular stigmata featured on the forewings, which is reflected bilaterally superior on some species.
Aboetheta is a monotypic moth genus of the Spilomelinae subfamily of the Crambidae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1914. The sole species in the genus, Aboetheta pteridonoma, was described by the same author in the same year, and is found in Australia.
Araeopteron is a genus of moths of the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1893.
Macrobathra is a genus of moths in the family Cosmopterigidae. Most species are endemic to Australia.
Comodica is a small genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Erechthiinae. It is apparently a close relative of the type genus of its subfamily, Erechthias.
The Depressariinae – sometimes spelled "Depressiinae" in error – are a subfamily of moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Like their relatives therein, their exact relationships are not yet very well resolved. It has been considered part of family Elachistidae sensu lato or included in an expanded Oecophoridae. In modern classifications they are treated as the distinct gelechioid family Depressariidae.
Tinea is a genus of the fungus moth family, Tineidae. Therein, it belongs to the subfamily Tineinae. As evident by its name, it is the type genus of its subfamily and family. Established as one of the first subgroups of "Phalaena", it used to contain many species of Tineidae that are nowadays placed in other genera, as well as a few moths nowadays placed elsewhere.
Corcyra is a genus of snout moths. It was described by Ragonot in 1885, and is known from China, Great Britain, Australia, and Egypt.
Eretmocera is a genus of moths in the family Scythrididae.
Procometis is a genus of moths in the family Autostichidae.
Calathusa is a genus in the moth family Erebidae, erected by Francis Walker in 1858. Many of its species occur in Australia. This genus is sometimes included in the subfamily Chloephorinae and sometimes in Hypeninae.
Tachystola is a genus of the concealer moth family (Oecophoridae), in the Oecophorinae subfamily. It is an Australasian genus of fourteen species with one found in Europe, which is presumably an introduction.
Trachypepla is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae. It was circumscribed in 1883 by Edward Meyrick. The species within this genus are indigenous to Australia and New Zealand.
