Uralilla

Uralilla is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Embrik Strand in 1911. Species within Uralilla are found in Africa.

The genus Uralilla is characterized by specific wing venation and genitalic morphology, which distinguish it from closely related genera. Information on the larval stages and life cycle of Uralilla species is limited, with much of the current knowledge based on adult specimens. The moths are generally nocturnal, and their ecological roles, such as pollination or herbivory, are not extensively studied.

Currently, there are a few recognized species within the genus Uralilla. For example, Uralilla somnialis is a known species. Further research is ongoing to clarify the taxonomic status of various specimens and to potentially identify new species within this group. The distribution of Uralilla moths appears to be restricted to certain regions of the African continent. Conservation status assessments for most Uralilla species have not yet been conducted due to a lack of comprehensive data. Ongoing entomological surveys aim to gather more information on the biodiversity and distribution of these moths.
