Anagrapha
Anagrapha is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Plusiinae, established by McDunnough in 1944. The genus contains at least one confirmed species, Anagrapha falcifera (celery looper), which serves as the original host for AfMNPV (Anagrapha falcifera multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus), a broad host-spectrum baculovirus with significant importance in biological control research. The virus isolated from this species has been shown to infect 43 species across 13 lepidopteran families and is genetically identical to the Rachiplusia ou virus isolate.
