Amastus
''Amastus'' is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1855. Taxonomy The delimitation of ''Amastus'' versus '' Hemihyalea'' has long been problematic. It was recently determined that the type species of ''Hemihyalea'' (the old '' Phaegoptera cornea'') is so closely related to that of ''Amastus'' ('' P. collaris'') as to warrant inclusion in the present genus. That determination led to the reestablishment of the genus '' Pseudohemihyalea'' for the more distantly related group of species around '' "Hemihyalea" schausi''. There is no consensus yet on whether to include the remaining ''Hemihyalea'' species in ''Amastus''.Pitkin & Jenkins (2004ab), Schmidt (2009) Selected species Species of ''Amastus'' include: * '' Amastis aconia'' (Herrich-Schäffer 1853) * '' Amastus bicolor'' (Maassen, 1890) * '' Amastus cellularis'' Rothschild, 1922 * '' Amastus collaris'' (Herrich-Schäffer, 853 * '' Amastus maasseni'' (Rothschild, 1909) * '' Amast ...

Phaegoptera Cornea
''Hemihyalea'' is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by George Hampson in 1901. Its only species, ''Hemihyalea cornea'', was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1853. Taxonomy The type species, ''Hemihyalea cornea'', has been proposed for inclusion in ''Amastus'', and other species that were previously classified in ''Hemihyalea'' have consequently been moved to the re-established genus '' Pseudohemihyalea''. It is unclear at present whether ''Hemihyalea'' is a valid genus at all, and if so, which species other than ''H. cornea'' it would contain.Pitkin & Jenkins (2004), Schmidt (2009) Distribution ''Hemihyalea cornea'' is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela.
