Afronyctemera

Afronyctemera is a genus of moths erected by Vladimir Dubatolov in 2006. Its treatment varies by source, from being recognized as a valid genus to a valid subgenus of Nyctemera to being listed as doubtful to not being recognized at all.

Species

AfroMoths, treating Afronyctemera as a subgenus, includes four species:

  • Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) camerunica <small>(Strand, 1909)</small>
  • Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) itokina <small>(Aurivillius, 1904)</small>
  • Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) marcida <small>(Swinhoe, 1906)</small>
  • Nyctemera (Afronyctemera) plana <small>(Wichgraf, 1921)</small>

When Afronyctemera is treated as a valid genus, it consists of one species that includes the rest of the above as synonyms:

Similarly, the Global Lepidoptera Index treats Afronyctemera itokina (their Nyctemera itokina) as valid and the other taxa mentioned above as its synonyms.
