Capis
Capis is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae (formerly placed in Noctuidae), established by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. The genus contains at least two described species: Capis curvata (Grote, 1882), the type species, and Capis archaia Handfield & Handfield, 2006, described from Québec, Canada. Records indicate occurrence in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
Clostera strigosa
striped chocolate-tip, drab tent-maker moth
Clostera strigosa is a moth species in the family Notodontidae (the prominents), described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. It is known by two common names: the striped chocolate-tip and the drab tent-maker moth. The species is found in North America, with records from Canada (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan) and the United States (Vermont). The specific epithet 'strigosa' refers to the streaked or striped appearance typical of this species.
Eucaterva variaria
Eucaterva variaria is a geometrid moth species described by Grote in 1882. It is distributed across Central America and North America. The species feeds on desert willow (Chilopsis linearis). It serves as a host for the parasitoid wasp Pimpla sanguinipes (Coccygomimus sanguinipes).
Euchaetes perlevis
Euchaetes perlevis is a small moth in the family Erebidae, first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. It is known from the southwestern United States. The species has a wingspan of approximately 23 mm. Very little is documented about its biology beyond basic taxonomic and distributional records.
Fota minorata
Fota minorata is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Stiriinae, described by Grote in 1882. It is known from North America. The genus Fota belongs to the tribe Stiriini, a group of small to medium-sized noctuid moths. Very little detailed biological information is available for this species specifically.
Glaucina interruptaria
Glaucina interruptaria is a North American moth species in the family Geometridae, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. The species belongs to the genus Glaucina, which contains several similar-looking geometrid moths with cryptic wing patterns. Like other members of this genus, it is presumed to be nocturnal and to possess the characteristic slender body and broad wings typical of geometrid moths.
Lesmone griseipennis
Gray-winged Owlet Moth, gray-winged owlet
Lesmone griseipennis is a species of owlet moth in the family Erebidae. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882, originally placed in the genus Trama. The species is recorded from North America and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 8654. The common name refers to its grayish wing coloration.
Matigramma rubrosuffusa
Matigramma rubrosuffusa is a nocturnal moth in the family Erebidae, described by Grote in 1882. It belongs to the diverse subfamily Erebinae, commonly known as the underwing and related moths. The species is known from North America, though specific details of its biology remain poorly documented.
Meroptera
Meroptera is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae. It was established by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. The genus contains six described species distributed in North America, including the southwestern United States and Cuba. Species in this genus are small moths with characteristic pyralid morphology.
Pyla
snout moths
Pyla is a genus of snout moths in the family Pyralidae, described by Grote in 1882. The genus contains more than 20 described species distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia. These moths belong to the subfamily Phycitinae, a diverse group within the pyralid moths.
