Abablemma
Abablemma is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, established by Nye in 1975. The genus contains at least six described species distributed from the southern United States through Central America. Species were historically classified in the subfamily Acontiinae of Noctuidae, reflecting ongoing taxonomic revisions in the noctuoid moths. The genus is represented by 817+ observations on iNaturalist, indicating moderate documentation of its occurrence.
Cutina
Cutina is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Erebinae. The genus was established by Francis Walker in 1866 and currently contains at least four described species. These moths are part of the diverse noctuoid assemblage, though detailed biological information for the genus remains limited in published literature.
Diphthera festiva
Hieroglyphic Moth
Diphthera festiva, commonly known as the Hieroglyphic Moth, is a distinctive moth species in the family Erebidae. It is the sole member of its genus Diphthera within the subfamily Calpinae. The species exhibits a wide tropical and subtropical distribution across the Americas, with occasional northern strays extending its recorded range. Its common name derives from the striking wing patterns that resemble hieroglyphic inscriptions.
Eustrotiini
Eustrotiini moths
Eustrotiini is a tribe of moths in the subfamily Boletobiinae, family Erebidae. Members are small to medium-sized noctuoid moths with generally dull coloration. The tribe is primarily distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, with greatest diversity in the Old World tropics. Many species exhibit cryptic forewing patterns that provide camouflage against bark or leaf litter.
Gabara gigantea
Gabara gigantea is a species of moth in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae. The species was described by Smith in 1905, originally placed in the genus Eucalyptra. It is known from North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented. The Hodges number for this species is 8519.
Hemeroplanis rectalis
Pale-lined Hemeroplanis
Hemeroplanis rectalis is a species of owlet moth in the family Erebidae, first described by Smith in 1907. It is commonly known as the Pale-lined Hemeroplanis. The species is distributed across North America. It is assigned Hodges number 8475.1 in the North American moth numbering system.
Latebraria
Latebraria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae, established by Achille Guenée in 1852. The genus contains three described species distributed in southern North America and Central America. These moths are part of the diverse noctuoid fauna of the Neotropical and Nearctic regions.
Proroblemma
Proroblemma is a genus of moths established by George Hampson in 1910. The genus contains seven described species, primarily distributed in the Americas. Taxonomic placement has been unstable, with historical classifications in Eublemminae or Acontiinae subfamilies, and family-level assignments to either Noctuidae or Erebidae. The genus name is derived from Greek elements suggesting a 'forward' or 'before' relationship to the related genus Roblemma.
Scevesia
Scevesia is a genus of moths in the family Notodontidae, subfamily Nystaleinae. It was erected by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1916. The genus contains two described species: Scevesia angustiora and Scevesia broidricci. It is placed within the superfamily Noctuoidea, a large group of moths commonly known as owlet moths and relatives.
