Spilosomina
The Spilosomina are a subtribe of tiger moths in the tribe Arctiini, which is part of the family Erebidae. Taxonomy The subtribe was previously classified as the tribe Spilosomini of the family Arctiidae. Genera The following genera are included in the subtribe. Numerous arctiine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, so this genus list may be incomplete. *'' Aethalida'' *'' Acantharctia'' *'' Afraloa'' *'' Afroarctia'' *'' Afrojavanica'' *'' Afromurzinia'' *'' Afrospilarctia'' *'' Afrowatsonius'' *'' Alexicles'' *''Allanwatsonia'' *'' Alpenus'' *''Aloa'' *'' Alphaea'' with two subgenera: '' Flavalphaea'' and '' Nayaca'' *''Amsacta'' *''Amsactarctia'' *''Amsactoides'' *''Andala'' *'' Arachnis'' *''Ardices'' with a subgenus '' Australemyra'' *''Areas'' with a subgenus '' Melanareas'' *'' Argyarctia'' with a subgenus '' Fangalphaea'' *'' Binna'' *''Bucaea'' *''Canararctia'' *'' Carcinarctia'' *'' Cheliosea'' *'' Chionarctia'' *'' Cladarctia'' *''Creataloum'' *'' Creatonot ...

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 ...

Arctiinae (erebid Moths)
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. ...

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings ('' Catocala''); litter moths (Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths (Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth (''Gynaephora groenlandica''); piercing moths ( Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (> wingspan in the black witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adults spans the full range of dull, drab, and camouflaged (e.g., ''Zale lunifera'' and litter moths) to vi ...
