  • Neofelderia rata

    Neofelderia rata is a species of moth in the family Zygaenidae, originally described as Lycomorpha rata by Edwards in 1882. It belongs to the subfamily Procridinae, a group commonly known as forester moths. The genus Neofelderia is part of the diverse Zygaenoidea superfamily, which includes many species with aposematic coloration and chemical defenses. Very little specific biological information has been published for this particular species.

  • Neoilliberis arizonica

    Neoilliberis arizonica is a species of forester moth in the family Zygaenidae, described by Tarmann in 1984. It is placed in the tribe Procridini within the subfamily Procridinae. The genus Neoilliberis is part of the diverse Zygaenoidea superfamily, which includes many aposematically colored day-flying moths. Very little is known about the biology or ecology of this particular species.

  • Neoilliberis fusca

    Neoilliberis fusca is a species of moth in the family Zygaenidae, first described by Edwards in 1885 under the basionym Pyromorpha fusca. It belongs to the subfamily Procridinae and tribe Procridini. The species is recorded in the Catalogue of Life and GBIF as accepted, with 119 observations documented on iNaturalist. As a zygaenid moth, it likely exhibits characteristics typical of forester and burnet moths, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

  • Neoprocris floridana

    Laurelcherry Smoky Moth

    Neoprocris floridana is a small zygaenid moth endemic to the southeastern United States, described by Tarmann in 1984. The species is primarily known from Florida, with rare records from Alabama and North Carolina. Its common name reflects a presumed association with laurelcherry (Prunus caroliniana), though direct observations of larval feeding remain limited. The moth belongs to the forester moth subfamily Procridinae, a group characterized by diurnal activity and often aposematic coloration.

  • Triprocris lustrans

    Triprocris lustrans is a species of forester moth in the family Zygaenidae, described by William Beutenmüller in 1894. It belongs to the subfamily Procridinae, a group of diurnal moths often characterized by metallic coloration and aposematic warning patterns associated with chemical defenses. The genus Triprocris comprises North American species, and T. lustrans represents one of the less documented members of this group. Like other zygaenids, it is presumed to be chemically defended, though specific studies on this species are limited.

  • Triprocris yampai

    Triprocris yampai is a species of forester moth in the family Zygaenidae, described by Barnes in 1905. It belongs to a genus of small, diurnal moths known for their metallic coloration and association with specific host plants. The species is documented from a limited number of observations, suggesting restricted distribution or low detectability. Like other members of Procridinae, it likely possesses chemical defenses derived from larval host plant sequestration.
