Walker-1859
Guides
Asciodes quietalis
Asciodes quietalis is a moth species originally described by Walker in 1859 as Scoparia quietalis. It is currently treated as a synonym of Asciodes gordialis, a species in the family Crambidae (subfamily Spilomelinae). The taxon has been documented in 46 iNaturalist observations. As a synonym, it does not represent a currently recognized valid species, and biological information attributed to this name should be referred to the accepted species Asciodes gordialis.
Azochis
Azochis is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, subfamily Spilomelinae, established by Francis Walker in 1859. The genus contains approximately 16 described species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. Species have been recorded from Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. The genus is characterized by typical crambid morphology with nocturnal adult activity patterns.
Daulia
Daulia is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, subfamily Spilomelinae. The genus was established by Francis Walker in 1859. Species in this genus are distributed primarily in tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World, including parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia. The genus comprises relatively small to medium-sized moths with characteristic wing patterns typical of the Spilomelinae.
Diacme phyllisalis
Rusty Diacme
Diacme phyllisalis is a small crambid moth first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It occurs across the Caribbean and into the southeastern United States, with records from Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, Florida, and Georgia. The species is known in English as the Rusty Diacme, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Elophila faulalis
Elophila faulalis is a moth species in the family Crambidae, described by Francis Walker in 1859. It belongs to the subfamily Acentropinae, a group that includes many semi-aquatic and aquatic moth species whose larvae develop in or near water. Adults have been recorded in flight nearly year-round in North America. The species is part of a genus whose larvae are known to construct portable cases from plant fragments and live in aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats.
Hypena degesalis
Hypena degesalis is a species of moth in the family Erebidae, first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is classified within the subfamily Hypeninae and is found in North America. The species is assigned MONA/Hodges number 8459 and phylogenetic sequence 930582. Like other members of the genus Hypena, it is an owlet moth with a characteristic resting posture.
Microtheoris ophionalis
Yellow-veined Moth
Microtheoris ophionalis, commonly known as the yellow-veined moth, is a crambid moth species first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is widely distributed across the Americas, ranging from southern Canada through the United States and Mexico to South America. The species is relatively well-documented with over 2,300 observations on iNaturalist, suggesting it is common and readily encountered by observers.
Motya abseuzalis
Motya abseuzalis is a nolid moth species in the subfamily Chloephorinae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1859. The species is recorded from North America and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 8981. Information on its biology and ecology remains limited.
Munroeodes thalesalis
Munroeodes thalesalis is a moth species in the family Crambidae, first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It belongs to the subfamily Pyraustinae. The species is known from Honduras, with limited published information available regarding its biology and ecology.
Nacoleia charesalis
Nacoleia charesalis is a moth species in the family Crambidae, first described by Francis Walker in 1859. The species exhibits a broad Indo-Pacific distribution spanning from South Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia and the western Indian Ocean. Larvae have been documented feeding on several species of Shorea (Dipterocarpaceae), indicating a specialized association with this tree genus.
Udea itysalis
Udea itysalis is a small crambid moth described by Francis Walker in 1859. It is widely distributed across North America from British Columbia to Quebec, with southern records extending to Colorado, California, Nevada, and Arizona. A single extralimital record exists from the Sayan Mountains in Russia. The species exhibits considerable geographic variation, with nine described subspecies recognized primarily by Munroe in 1966.
