Zygaenidae
The Zygaenidae moths are a family of Lepidoptera. The majority of zygaenids are tropical, but they are nevertheless quite well represented in temperate regions. Some of the 1000 or so species are commonly known as burnet or forester moths, often qualified by the number of spots, although other families also have 'foresters'. They are also sometimes called smoky moths. All 43 species of List of moths of Australia (Zygaenidae), Australian zygaenids are commonly known as foresters and belong to the tribe Artonini. The only nonendemic species in Australia is ''Palmartona catoxantha'', a Southeast Asian pest species which is believed to be already present in Australia or likely to arrive soon.Tarmann, G.M. "Zygaenid moths of Australia. A revision of the Australian Zygaenidae". Description Larvae Larvae are stout and may be flattened. A fleshy extension of the thorax covers the head.

Tongue long and strong. Legs rather short. Forewing elongate oval, black or red, rarely spotted with white or yellow. Hindwing small, usually red, seldom black. —Larva strongly humpbacked, very soft, downy-haired. Pupa in a paper-like silky cocoon, the sheaths of legs and wings being loosely soldered together.

Chalcosiinae
Chalcosiinae is a subfamily of the Zygaenidae, containing many species, mostly little known. Prominent sexual dimorphism, bright aposematic coloration and mimicry complexes are widespread. Several members of this subfamily remain relatively obscure, only being known from a single specimen, as in the case of the genus '' Isocrambia''. Some others are known from specimens of a specific sex, such as '' Cyanidia'' and '' Allocaprima''. Distribution The members of Chalcosiinae are distributed throughout Palearctic East Asia, Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and Micronesia. The majority of the subfamily extending as far north as the Russian Far-East ('' Elcysma westwoodi'') and as far west as Pakistan ('' Campylotes''). A single genus, '' Aglaope'' is disjunctly distributed from the remainder of the subfamily, being found in the Iberian Peninsula and southern France.

Neurosymploca? Oligocenica
''Neurosymploca? oligocenica'' is an extinct species of moth in the family Zygaenidae, and possibly in the modern genus ''Neurosymploca''.

It is a single, mostly complete adult which may be male, preserved as a compression fossil in fine grained shale. The shale specimen is from the fossil bearing calcareous and oilshale outcrops of paleolake Céreste. The type specimen is currently preserved in the paleoentomological collections housed in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the National Museum of Natural History, located in Paris, France.

The Zygaeninae are a subfamily of the Zygaenidae family of moths. These are day-flying moths. Species of the genus ''Zygaena'' are native to the West Palearctic, while the genus '' Reissita'' is found on the Arabian Peninsula. They are able to biosynthesise hydrogen cyanide, and their bright patterns are warning colours to potential predators.
