Ephoria Gallica
''Ephoria'' is a genus of moths of the Apatelodidae Apatelodidae, the American silkworm moths, is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are a family within the superfamily Bombycoidea, though they have in the past been considered a subfamily of Bombycidae. Distribution Species are e ... family. It was previously known as ''Colabata'', as a result of Herrich-Schäffer's ''Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum''—in which ''Ephoria'' was introduced—having been published twice. The earlier of these publications precedes that of Walker's ''Colabata'' in 1856, making the latter the junior synonym. Species Per Kitching et al. 2018, the genus contains the following species: * '' Ephoria dora'' (Schaus, 1896) * '' Ephoria eadgara'' (Schaus, 1934) * '' Ephoria ephora'' (Stoll, 1781) * '' Ephoria gallica'' Herbin, 2017 * '' Ephoria hezia'' (Druce, 1899) * '' Ephoria illauta'' (Draudt, 1929) * '' Ephoria liliana'' (Schaus, 1900) * '' Ephoria lybia'' (Druce, 1898) * '' Ephor ...

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 ...

Apatelodidae
Apatelodidae, the American silkworm moths, is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are a family within the superfamily Bombycoidea, though they have in the past been considered a subfamily of Bombycidae. Distribution Species are exclusively found in the New World, with the highest diversity in the Neotropical realm. Diversity Apatelodidae is undergoing taxonomic and phylogenetic revision, as a result of which the exact numbers of genera and species included have been subject to frequent change. "A global checklist of the Bombycoidea" (Kitching et al. 2018) lists twelve genera and 182 species for the family. Not included in the checklist are taxonomic changes that occurred shortly before, or since, publication. Some examples of such changes are the addition of genera '' Arotros'' (transferred from Bombycidae in 2019) and '' Asocia'' (newly described in 2021) to Apatelodidae, the synonymization of ''Apatelodes florisa'' to '' Apatelodes schreiteri'', or the descript ...
