Stomatis

Stomatis is a genus of moths belonging to the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Frederic Moore in 1877. Species within this genus are found in various parts of Asia, including India and Southeast Asia. These moths are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light.

The larvae of Stomatis moths are often herbivorous, feeding on specific host plants. Detailed information on the life cycle and ecological role of most Stomatis species is limited, as research on this genus is not as extensive as for more widely studied moth families. However, like other moth species, they play a part in the ecosystem as a food source for predators and through their larval stage's interaction with plant life.

Identification of Stomatis species often relies on morphological characteristics, including wing patterns and genitalia. Further research is ongoing to better understand the taxonomy and distribution of this genus. The conservation status of Stomatis species is generally not well-defined, with no particular species currently listed as globally endangered. Their presence is an indicator of the biodiversity within their native habitats.
