Alcides Chrysiridia Cyphura Lyssa Urania Urapteritra Urapteroides Urania Chrysiridia Alcides Lyssa Urapteroides Cyphura Acropteris The Uraniinae or uraniine moths are a subfamily of moths in the family Uraniidae.

They are blackish with markings in iridescent green or light blue; some species have orange, gold or pink highlights.

Cases are known where harmless butterflies mimic these toxic moths, e.g. Papilio laglaizei and Alcides agathyrsus.

The remaining genera in the subfamily are far less colorful, overall gray-brown with a light band on each wing (Lyssa) or white with brownish markings (Cyphura, Urapteritra, and Urapteroides), and mainly nocturnal or crepuscular.

Despite their relatively dull colors, Lyssa species are impressive because of their large size with a typical wingspan of 10–16 cm (3.9–6.3 in).
