Ptychoglene
Ptychoglene is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae, tribe Lithosiini, within the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Felder in 1874 and contains eight described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. Members of this genus are characterized by their often striking red or reddish coloration, reflected in species epithets such as 'coccinea' (scarlet), 'erythrophora' (red-bearing), and 'sanguineola' (blood-red). The genus is part of the diverse tiger moth assemblage, though specific biological details for most species remain poorly documented.
