''Phalaena'' is an obsolete genus of Lepidoptera used by Carl Linnaeus to house most moths. ''Phalaena'' was one of three genera used by Linnaeus to cover all Lepidoptera. ''Papilio'' included all butterflies at that time, ''Sphinx'' included all hawk moths, and ''Phalaena'' included all the remaining moths. The type species was ''Phalaena typica'' (now ''Naenia typica'' in the family Noctuidae). ''Phalaena'' has been declared a ' by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, for the purposes of priority, but not homonymy. Seven subgenera were raised to the rank of genus as follows: *''Alucita'' Linnaeus, 1767 – Alucitidae *''Attacus'' Linnaeus, 1767 – Saturniidae *''Bombyx'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Bombycidae *''Geometra'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Geometridae *''Noctua'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Noctuidae *''Pyralis'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Pyralidae *''Tinea'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Tineidae *''Tortrix'' Linnaeus, 1758 – Tortricidae The Tortricidae are a family of moths, comm ...
