Autenas

Autenas is a genus of moths in the family Geometridae. The genus was described by Francis Walker in 1866. The species within this genus are primarily found in the Oriental region. Autenas moths are characterized by their wing patterns and coloration, which often serve as camouflage against their natural surroundings. Information on the specific life cycle, diet, and ecological role of Autenas species is often detailed in entomological literature, with research varying in scope depending on the particular species. Larval stages are typically herbivorous, feeding on specific host plants. Adult moths are generally nocturnal and are attracted to light sources. Further taxonomic and biological research continues to refine the understanding of this genus and its constituent species.
