Ephoria Dora
''Ephoria'' is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae. It was previously known as ''Colabata'', as a result of Herrich-Schäffer's ''Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum''—in which ''Ephoria'' was introduced—having been published twice. The earlier of these publications precedes that of Walker's ''Colabata'' in 1856, making the latter the junior synonym. Species Per Kitching et al. 2018, the genus contains the following species: * ''Ephoria dora'' (Schaus, 1896) * ''Ephoria eadgara'' (Schaus, 1934) * ''Ephoria ephora'' (Stoll, 1781) * ''Ephoria gallica'' Herbin, 2017 * ''Ephoria hezia'' (Druce, 1899) * ''Ephoria illauta'' (Draudt, 1929) * ''Ephoria liliana'' (Schaus, 1900) * ''Ephoria lybia'' (Druce, 1898) * ''Ephoria marginalis'' (Walker, 1856) * ''Ephoria mendozata'' (Dognin, 1923) * ''Ephoria thea'' (Schaus, 1924) * ''Ephoria yanisi'' Herbin & Mielke, 2018 References * Apatelodidae Bombycoidea genera {{Bombycoidea-stub ...

Moth
Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not Butterfly, butterflies. They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is Paraphyly, paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxon is used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although there are also crepuscular and Diurnal animal, diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the Butterfly, butterflies form a monophyly, monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae a ...
