Catharpiniae

Catharpiniae is a taxonomic rank within the order of insects known as Lepidoptera. This group includes a diverse range of moths. The classification of Catharpiniae is a subject of ongoing research and may vary slightly depending on the specific taxonomic system used by entomologists.

These moths are characterized by specific anatomical features, particularly in their wing venation and reproductive organs, which differentiate them from other moth families. Their larval stages, or caterpillars, often feed on specific host plants, playing a role in their respective ecosystems. The distribution and life cycles of Catharpiniae species are varied, with some found globally and others restricted to particular geographic regions.

The study of Catharpiniae contributes to our understanding of insect evolution and biodiversity. Ongoing research aims to further clarify their phylogenetic relationships and ecological significance. Information on specific species within Catharpiniae can be found in specialized entomological literature and databases.
