Poaphilini
The Poaphilini are a tribe (biology), tribe of moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy Phylogenetic studies have shown that the tribe is most closely related to the tribe Ophiusini. Those studies indicate that the genera ''Achaea (moth), Achaea'', ''Mimophisma'', and ''Ophisma'' belong in the Poaphilini despite formerly being classified in the Ophiusini.

Erebinae
The Erebinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae erected by William Elford Leach in 1815. Erebine moths are found on all continents except Antarctica, but reach their greatest diversity in the tropics. While the exact number of species belonging to the Erebinae is not known, the subfamily is estimated to include around 10,000 species. Some well-known Erebinae include underwing moths (''Catocala'') and witch moths (Thermesiini). Many of the species in the subfamily have medium to large wingspans (7 to 10 cm, 3 to 4 inches), up to nearly 30 cm in the white witch moth (''Thysania agrippina''), which has the widest wingspan of all Lepidoptera. Erebine caterpillars feed on a broad range of plants; many species feed on Poaceae, grasses and legumes, and a few are pests of Ricinus, castor bean, sugarcane, rice, as well as pistachios and Blackberry, blackberries. Morphology Erebine moths possess a number of adaptations for predator defense. Most Erebinae, such ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allotria
''Allotria'' is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae. Its only species, ''Allotria elonympha'', the false underwing moth, is found in eastern North America. Both the genus and the species were first described by Jacob Hübner, the genus in 1823 and the species in 1818. The wingspan is 33–44 mm. Adults are on wing from March to September. The larvae feed on various deciduous trees, such as black gum (''Nyssa sylvatica ''Nyssa sylvatica'', commonly known as tupelo, black tupelo, black gum or sour gum, is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to eastern North America from the coastal Northeastern United States and southern Ontario south to central Florida and ea ...''), hickory and walnut.

Ophiusini
The Ophiusini are a tribe (biology), tribe of moths in the family Erebidae. Taxonomy The tribe is one of the most successful of the major Evolutionary radiation, radiations of the subfamily Erebinae. The tribe was previously classified as the subtribe Ophiusina of the subfamily Catocalinae of the family Noctuidae. Phylogenetic studies have shown that the Ophiusini are closely related to the tribe Poaphilini, and both these tribes are best placed in the subfamily Erebinae of the family Erebidae. Many New World genera in the former Ophiusina were split into the tribe Omopterini after phylogenetic studies determined that the New and Old World genera were not as closely related to each other as they are to genera in other tribes of the Erebinae. Genera The following genera are included in the tribe.FE (2011), Wikispecies (2011-JUN-28), and see references in Savela (2011) * ''Artena (moth), Artena'' * ''Buzara'' * ''Cerocala'' * ''Clytie (moth), Clytie'' * ''Dermaleipa'' (sometimes ...
