Urania is a genus of colorful, dayflying moths in the family Uraniidae, native to warmer parts of the Americas.

Their larvae feed on Omphalea.

The genus name Urania is Neo-Latin from Latin Urania from Ancient Greek Ουρανία, one of the Muses, literally 'The Heavenly One'.

[9][10] The genus includes relatively large day-flying moths that are found in Mexico (rarely reaching north to Texas as a vagrant), Central America, warmer parts of South America and the Caribbean islands.
