Baileya
Desert Marigolds
Baileya is a genus of moths in the family Nolidae, subfamily Risobinae, established by Grote in 1895. The genus includes species commonly known as 'desert marigolds,' a name shared with an unrelated plant genus of the same name. The moths are found in North America, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The genus name creates potential for confusion with Baileya (Asteraceae), a genus of desert wildflowers.
