Arctiina
The Arctiina are a subtribe of moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy The subtribe was previously treated as a higher-level taxon, the tribe Arctiini, within the lichen and tiger moth family Arctiidae. The ranks of the family and its subdivisions were lowered in a recent reclassification while keeping the contents of the family and its subdivisions largely unchanged. These changes in rank triggered changes in the suffixes in the names. The family Arctiidae as a whole was reclassified as the subfamily Arctiinae within the family Erebidae. The original subfamilies were lowered to tribes, and the original tribe Arctiini was lowered to subtribe status as Arctiina. Thus the name "Arctiini" used to refer to the subtribe that is the topic of this article, but now that name refers to the tribe that includes this subtribe. Genera As a result of research published in 2016 by Rönkä et al., 33 genera of Arctiina were determined to be new taxonomic synonyms of 5 genera, leaving the followi ...

Erebidae
The Erebidae are a family (biology), family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings (''Catocala''); litter moths (Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, footman and wasp moths (Arctiinae (erebid moths), Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth (''Gynaephora groenlandica''); fruit-piercing moths (Calpinae and others); micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zale (moth), zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae (for example, Crambidae, crambid snout moths). Some of the erebid moths are called owlets. The sizes of the adults range from among the largest of all moths (around wingspan in the Thysania agrippina, white witch) to the smallest of the macromoths ( wingspan in some of the Micronoctuini). The coloration of the adu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Phaegopterina
The Phaegopterina are a subtribe of tiger moths in the tribe Arctiini, which is part of the family Erebidae. The subtribe was described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. 469 species of Phaegopterina are present and 52 that are recently discovered in Brazil. Taxonomic history The subtribe was previously classified as the tribe Phaegopterini of the family Arctiidae. In 2002, Jacobson & Weller proposed a clade ''Euchaetes'' within Arctiini.Jacobson NL & Weller SJ (2002) A cladistic study of the Arctiidae (Lepidoptera) by using characters of immatures and adults. ''Thomas Say publications in entomology'': 1-98, Entomologica Society of America: Lanham, Maryland. In 2010, V. V.
