Doidae is a small family of Lepidoptera with an exclusively New World distribution, with species occurring in Central America, the south-western United States, and northern South America.
Taxonomical placement
[edit | edit source]Doidae was elevated to family rank by Julian P. Donahue and John W. Brown in 1987.[1] They have a complex taxonomical history, and have previously been placed in Geometridae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae and Dioptidae among several other families.[2][3] As a family, Doidae was formerly included in superfamily Noctuoidea, but was transferred to the Drepanoidea in 2011 by van Nieukerken et al.[1]
Genera and species
[edit | edit source]As of May 2024[update], the Global Biodiversity Information Facility lists seven species in two genera for Doidae:[4]
- Genus Leuculodes Dyar, 1903
- Leuculodes lacteolaria Hulst, 1896
- Leuculodes lephassa Druce, 1897
