Achagua (moth)
''Achagua'' is a small Neotropical genus of moths in the family Geometridae, with species found in South and Central America. Specimens are seldomly collected. Taxonomy ''Achagua'' was erected by Frederick H. Rindge in 1983, and placed in tribe Nacophorini of the Geometridae. Phylogenetic research in 2019 confirmed its placement in Nacophorini, and placed ''Achagua'' as sister taxon to the genera '' Gabriola'' and '' Cargolia''. At the time of the Rindge's description, ''Achagua obsoleta'' was the sole formally described species in the genus, although Rindge mentioned—but did not provide a formal first description or name of—a second species. This second species was, alongside two further species, formally described in 2023 by Tanner A. Matson.

Nacophorini
The Nacophorini are one of the smaller tribe (biology), tribes of geometer moths in the subfamily Ennominae. They are the most diverse Ennominae of Australia and are widespread in the Americas. If the African genera tentatively placed herein indeed belong here, the distribution of the Nacophorini is distinctly Gondwanan, with their probable origin either of Australia, South America or even Antarctica (which was not ice-covered until a few million years ago). In Eurasia, they are rare by comparison.Young (2008) Despite the lack of thorough study of this tribe in modern times, as traditionally delimited they are probably nearly monophyletic, requiring only a few genera to be moved in and out of this group to make it correspond to a clade; as this involves the type species, the correct name for this clade might be Lithinini or maybe Campaeini, which are both liable to be eventually merged with the Nacophorini. The Azelinini, Ennomini and perhaps the Caberini are probably their closes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
