Welcome to Daves Moth and
Butterfly World - Superfamily: Hyblaeidae | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Welcome to Dave McCormick's Moth and Butterfly World. Here is information on the Superfamily, Hyblaeidae and its subfamilies. Go Back to A-Z Family index and Photos Information Hyblaeidae are the "teak moths". The two genera with about 18 species make up the Hyblaeoidea superfamily, which has sometimes been included in the Pyraloidea. However, the position of this family is currently uncertain within the group Obtectomera. Males have a specialised "hair-pencil" on the hind leg. The genus Hyblaea is distributed through the Old World tropics and Torone, the Neotropics. Caterpillar hostplants are well known and almost exclusively the families Bignoniaceae, Verbenaceae and the related mangrove family Avicenniaceae, the mangrove family Rhizophoraceae and a very few other families.
