Gadirtha Impingens
''Gadirtha impingens'' is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found from northern India and southern China to Queensland, the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands, as well in Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima). The habitat consists of lowland areas up to 2,600 meters, but it is most frequent at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 meters. The larvae feed on ''Sapium'' and ''Stillingia ''Stillingia'' is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae, first described for modern science as a genus in 1767.

Gadirtha Fusca
''Gadirtha fusca'' is a moth of the family Nolidae. It is found in east-central and south-eastern China. The length of the forewings is 18.5–22.4 mm for males and 20.9–23.1 mm for females. The ground colour of the forewings in males is brownish grey, with varying amounts of indistinct rufous areas. There is a rectangulate dark grey basal spot on the costa and a fainter dark grey triangulate spot proximal to the apex. The hindwings are dark grey. Females have pale brownish grey forewings. There are four to five generations per year in Hubei. The larvae feed on the leaves of ''Triadica sebifera''. There are six larval instars. The larvae reach a length of 28–33.5 mm and have a pale green to yellow-green ground colour and a yellow head. The species overwinters as an egg on the leaves and branches of the host plant. The eggs hatch in May. Etymology The species name refers to the dark greyish brown ground colour of the forewings. Gallery File:Gadirtha_fusca_lar ...

Gadirtha Pulchra
''Gadirtha pulchra'' is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1886. It is found from the Indian subregion to the Ryukyu Islands in Japan and Thailand, Singapore, New Guinea and Queensland in Australia. The wingspan is about 40 mm. Adults are buff and grey, with dark lines on the forewings. The hindwings are white, shading to brown at the margins and with dark veins. The larvae feed on ''Sapium ''Sapium'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Euphorbiaceae. It is widespread across most of Latin America and the West Indies.

Gadirtha Inexacta
''Gadirtha inexacta'' is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found in northern India and Myanmar, as well as on Borneo. It has also been recorded from Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. Adults are patchy brown, with two dark marks on the forewings. The hindwings are brown, darkening toward the margins. The larvae feed on various Euphorbiaceae species, including ''Omalanthus populifolius'', '' Sapium discolor'' and ''Triadica sebifera ''Triadica sebifera'' is a tree native to eastern China. It is commonly called Chinese tallow, Chinese tallowtree, Florida aspen, chicken tree, gray popcorn tree, or candleberry tree. The seeds (as well as from those of '' Triadica cochinchinen ...''.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below 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 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 of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should cl ...

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.

Nolidae
Nolidae is a family of moths with about 1,700 described species worldwide. They are mostly small with dull coloration, the main distinguishing feature being a silk cocoon with a vertical exit slit. The group is sometimes known as tuft moths, after the tufts of raised scales on the forewings of two subfamilies, Nolinae and Collomeninae. The larvae also tend to have muted colors and tufts of short hairs. Formerly, this group was included in the Noctuidae.
