Modeliana

Modeliana is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Achille Guenée in 1852. Moths in this genus are found in various parts of the world, with species documented in regions including the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The exact number of species within Modeliana is subject to ongoing taxonomic research, but it is understood to encompass several distinct entities.

The larvae of Modeliana species, like other moths, are typically herbivorous, feeding on specific host plants. The adult moths exhibit a range of wing patterns and coloration, which can vary considerably between species, aiding in their identification. Their life cycle involves complete metamorphosis, passing through egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages. Information regarding the specific ecological roles and behaviors of individual Modeliana species is often detailed in entomological literature and regional faunal surveys. Further research continues to expand our understanding of this genus's diversity and evolutionary relationships.
