Allenegroeps

Allenegroeps is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. Moths in this genus are typically found in the Neotropical region.

The genus Allenegroeps is characterized by certain morphological features of its genitalia and wing venation. Adults are generally nocturnal, with their diet primarily consisting of nectar from flowering plants. The larval stages, or caterpillars, of Allenegroeps moths feed on specific host plants, though the exact species of these plants can vary depending on the particular species within the genus and its geographic location.

Research on Allenegroeps is ongoing, with lepidopterists working to classify and understand the diversity within this genus. Studies often focus on their ecological roles, such as pollination or as a food source for other animals, and their evolutionary relationships with other moth families. Further taxonomic work is sometimes necessary to accurately identify and delineate species within Allenegroeps, contributing to a broader understanding of insect biodiversity.
