Arctornis

Arctornis is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae, the namesake of the tribe Arctornithini,[1] and disputedly the sole genus in the tribe.[a] The genus was erected by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1810.[3][4][5]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Wang et al in 2015 considered it the sole genus in the tribe, with several other genera (Carriola, Topomesoides and Sitvia) deemed synonyms of Arctornis.[1] Shovkoon & Trofimova in 2024 revised the status of Carriola, restoring it to the status of separate genus within Arctornithini.[2]
