Tetrisia (moth)

Tetrisia is an invalid genus name for a species of moths in the family Erebidae, containing a single species, T. florigera.

It lives in Central America and South America, including Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia.

[1][2] The genus name is a homonym of Tetrisia Walker, 1867, a genus of plataspid bugs, published four months earlier, so the moth name must be formally replaced.

[3] The species Dysschema tricolora (Sulzer, 1776) has been mistakenly listed in the literature under the genus Tetrisia.
