NUDAURELIA OF THE WORLD

Nudaurelia cytherea (male) courtesy of Leroy Simon.

NUDAURELIA Rothschild, 1895

The Nudaurelia are members of the Bunaeini tribe of Subfamily Saturniinae, Family Saturniidae. These moths fly in Africa and surrounding islands. Moths have also sometimes been classified as Gonimbrasia, Imbrasia, Acanthocampa and Angelica. The prefered genus is listed after "namer".

The larvae of many species serve as a valuable food source in many African countries.
