Aemilia (moth)


Aemilia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae described by William Forsell Kirby in 1892. It was initially named Ameles, but this name properly refers to a praying mantis genus.
A group of species closely related to the red-banded aemilia was formerly placed in the genus. The species has recently been moved to the revalidated genus Pseudohemihyalea.
