Aiyura (moth)

Aiyura is a genus of moths belonging to the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae, tribe Lithosiini. The genus was erected by Jeremy Daniel Holloway in 2001. Moths of the Aiyura genus are found in New Guinea. They are typically small to medium-sized moths, often with muted coloration, though specific characteristics vary by species. Further research and taxonomic work are ongoing to fully delineate the different species within the genus and their exact distributions. The name likely originates from a location within New Guinea, although specific etymological details are not readily available in published literature.
