intorvi

Intorvi is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was first described by Charles Oberthür in 1893. Intorvi moths are found in Madagascar. They are relatively small moths, with a wingspan of about 2 to 3 centimeters. The forewings are typically brown or gray, with darker markings. The hindwings are usually paler. The larvae of Intorvi moths feed on the leaves of various plants. The adult moths are nocturnal and are attracted to light.

There are a few described species within the genus Intorvi. For example, Intorvi flava and Intorvi stigmatica are known species. Further research is ongoing to understand the full diversity and ecological role of this genus within the Malagasy fauna. Information on specific host plants and life cycles can vary between species and is an area of ongoing entomological study. The conservation status of Intorvi moths has not been widely assessed, but as with many endemic species, habitat preservation is likely important for their survival.
