Arachnis
Arachnis is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae (tiger moths). The genus was established by Geyer in 1837. Members of this genus are part of the diverse tiger moth assemblage, characterized by aposematic coloration and chemical defenses derived from host plant compounds. The genus is not to be confused with the orchid genus Arachnis Blume, 1825, which is a homonym in a different kingdom.
