Anomis editrix
Gulf scalloped moth
Anomis editrix, known as the Gulf scalloped moth, is an owlet moth in the family Erebidae. First described by Achille Guenée in 1852, this species occurs in North and Central America. It is assigned Hodges number 8553 in the North American moth classification system.
Baileya dormitans
Sleeping Baileya Moth, Sleeping Baileya
Baileya dormitans, commonly known as the sleeping baileya or sleeping baileya moth, is a species of nolid moth in the family Nolidae. First described by Achille Guenée in 1852, this species occurs in North America. The specific epithet 'dormitans' refers to a sleeping or dormant state, reflected in its common name. It is assigned MONA (Moths of North America) or Hodges number 8971.
Baileya doubledayi
Doubleday's Baileya Moth, Doubleday's baileya
Baileya doubledayi, commonly known as Doubleday's Baileya Moth, is a species of nolid moth in the family Nolidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It is found across North America, with confirmed records from Canada (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan) and the United States (Vermont). The species is assigned MONA/Hodges number 8969.
Diastema
Diastema is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Condicinae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852. These moths are part of the diverse owlet moth fauna, with species distributed across various regions. The genus name Diastema is derived from Greek, meaning 'space' or 'interval', though the biological significance of this naming in reference to moth morphology is not documented in available sources.
Ephyrodes
Ephyrodes is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae. The genus was established by Achille Guenée in 1852 and was previously classified in Noctuidae. Species occur from the southern United States through Central America and into South America, with records from the Caribbean. The genus contains seven described species.
Epidromia
Epidromia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae. The genus was erected by Achille Guenée in 1852 and contains approximately 11 described species. Species within this genus are distributed across the Neotropical region. The genus is characterized by its placement within the diverse Erebidae family, which encompasses a wide range of moth forms and ecological strategies.
Eriopyga
Eriopyga is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, established by Achille Guenée in 1852. The genus belongs to the tribe Eriopygini within the subfamily Noctuinae. One former species, Eriopyga iole, has been reclassified to the genus Pseudorthodes. The genus contains multiple species, though specific diversity and ecological details remain incompletely documented.
Eublemma minima
everlasting bud moth
Eublemma minima, the everlasting bud moth, is a small moth species in the family Erebidae, first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. The species has an unusually broad geographic distribution spanning Africa (Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa, Yemen) and the Americas (United States, Brazil, Argentina, Caribbean, Paraguay), suggesting either natural dispersal capabilities or human-mediated introduction to the Western Hemisphere. The specific epithet 'minima' refers to its small size relative to congeners.
Eulepidotis persimilis
Eulepidotis persimilis is a moth species in the family Erebidae, first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It belongs to the subfamily Calpinae, a group of moths commonly known as underwings or fruit-piercing moths. The species is recorded from the Neotropical region, with documented occurrences in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Honduras. Like other members of its genus, it is likely nocturnal, though specific behavioral details remain poorly documented.
Gondysia similis
Gordonia Darkwing
Gondysia similis, commonly known as the gordonia darkwing, is a moth species in the family Erebidae. First described by Achille Guenée in 1852, this species occurs in the southeastern United States. The larvae are specialized feeders on Gordonia lasianthus (loblolly bay), a relationship that defines both its common name and ecological niche. Adults are active from spring through early autumn with multiple generations per year.
Lepidomys irrenosa
Lepidomys irrenosa is a species of snout moth (family Pyralidae, subfamily Chrysauginae) described by Achille Guenée in 1852. It occurs in the southeastern United States and Cuba. As a member of the Chrysauginae, it belongs to a diverse group of pyralid moths whose larvae are often associated with plant material, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Letis xylia
Letis xylia is a moth species in the family Erebidae, first described by French entomologist Achille Guenée in 1852. It is known from North America, where it has been recorded in distribution records. The species is assigned Hodges number 8646.1 in the North American moth classification system.
Nephelodes
Bronzed Cutworm Moths
Nephelodes is a genus of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae, established by Guenée in 1852. The genus includes at least six recognized species, with Nephelodes minians (Bronzed Cutworm or Shaded Umber Moth) being the most well-known. These moths are placed in the tribe Tholerini within the subfamily Noctuinae. The genus has been documented in North America, with records from the United States including Vermont.
