Spirama
''Spirama'' is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. Description Antennae usually minutely fasciculate (bundled) in the male. Tibia not hairy and mid-tibia spined. Palpi with second joint reaching vertex of head and third joint naked. Thorax and abdomen smoothly clothed with hair. Forewings with nearly rectangular apex. Hindwings with vein 5 from lower angle of cell, which is rather short. Defensive display Some of the species, such as '' S. helicina'', '' S. indenta'', '' S. recessa'', '' S. remota'' and '' S. sumbana'', have a pattern on the wings that looks like the frontal view of the face of a snake with slightly opened mouth. This pattern is more clearly discernible in females. It may intimidate potential predators and dissuade them from attacking.John L. Capinera, ''Encyclopedia of Entomology'', Volume 4, p. 1174 Species * '' Spirama biformis'' Hulstaert, 1924 * '' Spirama capitulifera'' Prout, 1919 * '' Spirama euphrages' ...
