Positiva is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Rothschild in 1911 and is found in Mexico and Central America. The species within the genus are characterized by their large size and striking coloration.

One species within the genus, Positiva saharica, is known for its notable distribution across the western parts of North Africa. It has been recorded in areas such as Morocco and Algeria.

The adult moths within the genus are nocturnal and have large eyes, helping them navigate in the dark. The larvae, which are likely herbivores, feed on a variety of plants before pupating. However, the exact dietary habits of the species within Positiva are not well documented.

The genus has not been widely studied, and further research is needed to determine its full distribution and characteristics. In addition, the conservation status of the species within the genus is unknown.

A key characteristic of the genus is its unique appearance. Positiva moths are notably large, with some species reaching wing spans of over 10 centimeters. Their bodies are adorned with striking patterns and colors, making them a notable subject of study in the field of lepidoptery.
