Lithosiina
The Lithosiina are a subtribe of lichen moths in the family Erebidae. The taxon was erected by Gustaf Johan Billberg in 1820. Taxonomy The subtribe used to be classified as the tribe Lithosiini of the subfamily Lithosiinae of the family Arctiidae. Genera The following genera are included in the subtribe. *'' Aedoea'' *'' Agylla'' *'' Apaidia'' *'' Apistosia'' *''Asiapistosia'' *'' Atolmis'' *'' Blaviodes'' *'' Brunia'' *''Bucsekia'' *'' Calamidia'' *''Capissa'' *'' Chrysorabdia'' *'' Chrysoscota'' *''Collita'' *'' Crambidia'' *'' Cybosia'' *''Danielithosia'' *''Denteilema'' *''Dolgoma'' *''Eilema'' *'' Euconosia'' *''Gampola'' *''Gandhara'' *'' Gardinia'' *''Ghoria'' *'' Gnamptonychia'' *'' Graphosia'' *'' Hesudra'' *'' Hyposhada'' *'' Inopsis'' *'' Katha'' *'' Lambula'' *'' Lambulodes'' *'' Lithosia'' *'' Macotasa'' *'' Macrobrochis'' *'' Mantala'' *'' Manulea'' *'' Microlithosia'' *''Mithuna'' *'' Monosyntaxis'' *'' Muscula'' *'' Neosyntaxis'' *''Nishada Nishada (') is a ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

Arctiinae (moth)
The Arctiinae (formerly called the family Arctiidae) are a large and diverse subfamily of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species.Scoble, MJ. (1995). ''The Lepidoptera: Form, Function and Diversity''. Second ed. Oxford University Press. This subfamily includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers), which usually have bright colours, footmen, which are usually much drabber, lichen moths, and wasp moths. Many species have "hairy" caterpillars that are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name Arctiinae refers to this hairiness (Gk. αρκτος = a bear). Some species within the Arctiinae have the word "tussock"' in their common names because they have been misidentified as members of the Lymantriinae subfamily based on the characteristics of the larvae. Taxonomy The subfamily was previously classified as the family Arctiidae of the superfamily Noctuoidea and is a monophyletic group. ...
