Akrais

Akrais is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Frederic Moore in 1877. The moths in this genus are found in Southeast Asia, with species documented in countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. Information on the specific life cycle and ecological role of Akrais moths is limited, but like other erebid moths, they likely contribute to pollination and serve as a food source for other animals.

The taxonomy of Akrais has seen some revisions over time. While Moore initially placed it in the family Noctuidae, modern classification places it within the subfamily Arctiinae of the family Erebidae. The genus currently contains a small number of species, with new discoveries and reclassifications potentially altering its composition. Further research is needed to fully understand the distribution, behavior, and conservation status of the Akrais genus.
