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 desc ...

Pantelodes
''Pantelodes'' is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae. It was first described by Daniel Herbin in 2017, containing at the time nine species: ''Pantelodes satellitia'' (transferred from ''Apatelodes'') and eight newly described species previously identified as the former. In 2021, an additional species, ''Pantelodes camacana'', was described. The distribution of the genus is Neotropical.

Ephoria
''Ephoria'' is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae.

Prothysana
''Prothysana'' is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae. It contains two species, whose larvae are known as shag-carpet caterpillars.

(2001). "The identity of some unrecognized Neotropical Bombycoidea (Lepidoptera) described by Francis Walker". ''Revista Brasileira de Zoologia''. 18: 153-157.
