Castniidae, or castniid moths, is a small family of moths with fewer than 200 species: The majority are Neotropical with some in Australia and a few in south-east Asia. These are medium-sized to very large moths, usually with drab, cryptically-marked forewings and brightly coloured hindwings. They have clubbed antennae and are day-flying, and are often mistaken for butterflies. Indeed, some previous classification systems placed this family within the butterflies or skippers. The Neotropical species are commonly known as giant butterfly-moths, the Australian and Asian species as sun moths. The larvae are internal feeders, often on roots of epiphytes or on monocotyledons (Edwards et al., 1999: 184-188). ==Taxonomy== Subfamily Castniinae *Tribe Castniini * *''Amauta'' * *''Athis'' * *''Castnia'' * *''Castniomera'' * *''Corybantes'' * *''Eupalamides'' * *''Feschaeria'' * *''Geyeria'' * *''Haemonides'' * *''Hista'' * *''Imara'' * *''Insigniocastnia'' * *''Ircila'' * *''Lapaeumides'' * *''Spilopastes'' * *''Synpalamides'' * *''Telchin'' * *''Xanthocastnia'' * *''Yagra'' *Tribe Gazerini * *''Castnius'' * *''Ceretes'' * *''Divana'' * *''Duboisvalia'' * *''Frostetola'' * *''Gazera'' * *''Mirocastnia'' * *''Oiticicastnia'' * *''Paysandisia'' * *''Prometheus'' * *''Riechia'' * *''Tosxampila'' * *''Zegara'' *Tribe Synemonini * *''Synemon'' Subfamily Tascininae *''Tascina'' Subfamily ''incertae sedis'' *†''Dominickus'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castniidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
