Drepaninae
Drepaninae are by far the largest subfamily of the Drepanidae moths. While it is usually split into two tribes, Drepanini and Oretini, its internal systematics and phylogeny are not well resolved. Systematics The following list is provisional and probably incomplete. *Tribe Drepanini Meyrick, 1895 ** '' Agnidra'' - includes ''Zanclalbara'' ** ''Argodrepana'' ** '' Auzata'' - includes ''Gonocilix'' ** ''Auzatellodes'' ** ''Canucha'' - includes ''Campylopteryx'' ** ''Drapetodes'' ** ''Drepana'' ** '' Euphalacra'' - includes ''Ectothyris, Neophalacra'' ** ''Hyalospectra'' ** ''Leucoblepsis'' ** '' Macrocilix'' ** '' Nordstromia'' - includes ''Allodrepana'' ** ''Strepsigonia'' - includes ''Monurodes'' ** ''Tridrepana'' - includes ''Konjikia'' *Tribe Nidarini ** ''Nidara'' *Tribe Oretini Inoue, 1962 ** '' Amphitorna'' - includes ''Neoreta, Procampsis, Tomocerota'' ** '' Astatochroa'' ** ''Oreta ''Oreta'' is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Drepaninae.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a 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 and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Subfamily
In biological classification, a subfamily ( Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae". See also * International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants The ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICN) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants, fungi and a few other groups of organisms, all those "trad ... * International Code of Zoological Nomenclature * Rank (botany) * Rank (zoology) Sources {{biology-stub ...
