Marathyssa
Beautiful Marathyssa Moth (for M. pulcherrimus)
Marathyssa is a genus of moths in the family Euteliidae, established by Francis Walker in 1865. The genus contains approximately 20 described species distributed across the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Several species occur in North America, including the type species M. basalis. The genus has been subject to taxonomic revision, with some sources historically placing it in Noctuidae.
Massala
Massala is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Calpinae. It was established by Francis Walker in 1865. 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 is part of the diverse erebid moth fauna and is characterized by features typical of calpine moths.
Ozarba
Ozarba is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Acontiinae, established by Francis Walker in 1865. The genus contains over 200 described species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, with particularly high diversity in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and parts of Asia. Species exhibit considerable variation in wing pattern and coloration, though many share characteristic forewing markings. The genus has been subject to extensive taxonomic revision, particularly by Hacker and colleagues in the 2010s.
Plusia venusta

Ponometia venustula
Pretty Bird-Dropping Moth
Ponometia venustula, commonly known as the Pretty Bird-Dropping Moth, is a species of noctuid moth first described by Francis Walker in 1865. It belongs to the subfamily Acontiinae, a group commonly referred to as bird-dropping moths due to their resemblance to avian feces as a defensive camouflage. The species is assigned MONA/Hodges number 9087 and has been documented across North America with over 1,000 observations on iNaturalist.
Salobrena vacuana
Salobrena vacuana is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, subfamily Chrysauginae. Described by Francis Walker in 1865, this Neotropical species is one of approximately 15 species in the genus Salobrena. The genus is characterized by distinctive wing patterns and genitalic structures, though detailed biological information for S. vacuana specifically remains limited in published literature.
Toxonprucha excavata
Toxonprucha excavata is a moth species in the family Erebidae, described by Francis Walker in 1865. The species was originally described under the basionym Homoptera excavata before being transferred to the genus Toxonprucha. It belongs to the subfamily Erebinae, a diverse group of primarily nocturnal moths commonly known as underwings or erebid moths. The genus Toxonprucha contains multiple species distributed across North America.
