Coenina

Coenina is a subtribe of moths in the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae. This subtribe belongs to the tribe Lithosiini. Coenina are generally small to medium-sized moths, often brightly colored, and are found in various parts of the world. Many species exhibit aposmatism, warning coloration indicating they are unpalatable or toxic to predators. The taxonomic classification of Coenina and related groups within Lithosiini has been subject to revisions, and different sources may present slightly varying arrangements. Typically, genera included within Coenina are characterized by specific morphological features, especially in the wing venation and genitalia. Further research is ongoing to clarify the phylogenetic relationships within this group.
