Ephoria

Genus of moths From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ephoria is a genus of moths of the family Apatelodidae.[1] It was previously known as Colabata, as a result of Herrich-Schäffer's Synopsis familiarum Lepidopterorum—in which Ephoria was introduced—having been published twice. The earlier of these publications precedes that of Walker's Colabata in 1856, making the latter the junior synonym.[2]
