Dicallomera
''Dicallomera'' is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy Linnaeus first described ''Phalaena bombyx fascelina'' in 1758. Arthur Gardiner Butler first created the genus ''Dicallomera'' in 1881, for which he made ''Dicallomera fascelina'' the type species. In 1887 Otto Staudinger moved this species to the genus ''Dasychira'', and also described a new species, ''D. nivalis'' -he had previously described ''D. pumila'' in 1881, and would later describe ''D. obscurata'' in 1900 (now a subspecies of '' Dicallomera nivalis''). In 1934 Felix Bryk moved it and a number of ''Dasychira'' species to the genus ''Olene''. Igor Vasilii Kozhanchikov followed Bryk in 1950, but Douglas C. Ferguson in 1978 moved ''O. fascelina'' and a number of species back to Butler's ''Dicallomera''. One new species, ''Dicallomera kusnezovi'' from Wrangel Island in far northern Arctic Russia, was described in 1989 by Vladimir A. Lukhtanov and Khruliova, and a few other species were mov ...
