Lewisainoa

Lewisainoa is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by George Hampson in 1913. The moths in this genus are found in the Afrotropical realm.

The genus Lewisainoa contains a single described species, Lewisainoa costiplaga. This species is characterized by its distinctive forewing markings. Detailed information on the life cycle, larval stages, and specific ecological niche of Lewisainoa moths is limited in publicly available scientific literature.

Research on Lewisainoa contributes to the broader understanding of moth diversity within the Erebidae family and their distribution in Africa. Further taxonomic and ecological studies may reveal more about the specific roles and adaptations of these moths within their ecosystems. The genus name honors the entomologist Lionel Walter Rothschild.
