Mania (moth)
The genus Mania comprises a group of tropical and semi-tropical New World moths in the family Sematuridae. The genus has historically been referred to as either Nothus or Sematura, but both of these names are invalid.
Taxonomy
The name Nothus is preoccupied by a genus of Coleoptera. The genus name Sematura was also commonly in use for this genus, but it was younger than Hübner's name Mania from 1821; a petition to conserve the junior name was rejected by the ICZN in Opinion 2352, so Hübner's name is officially now the valid name for the genus.Species
