The two genera with about 18 species make up the Hyblaeoidea superfamily, which has sometimes been included in the Pyraloidea. A genus (plural genera from Γένος Latin genus "descent family type gender" is a low-level Taxonomic In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Taxonomic rank ( rank, category, taxonomic category is an abstract term used in the Scientific classification, or Taxonomy, of organisms The Pyraloidea ( pyraloid moths) are a Moth Superfamily containing about 16000 described Species worldwide (Munroe & Solis 1998 and probably However, the position of this family is currently uncertain within the group Obtectomera[1].

In Biogeography, Neotropic or Neotropical refers to one of the world's eight terrestrial Ecozones This ecozone includes South and Central America the Caterpillar hostplants are well known and almost exclusively the families Bignoniaceae, Verbenaceae and the related mangrove family Avicenniaceae, the mangrove family Rhizophoraceae and a very few other families [2]. The Bignoniaceae, or Trumpet Creeper Family, is a family of Flowering plants comprising of about 650-750 species in 116-120 genera. The verbena family or vervain vamily, Verbenaceae, is a family of mainly Tropical Plants They are Trees Shrubs Mangroves (generally are Trees and Shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the Tropics and Subtropics. Avicennia is a Genus of Mangrove Tree. As with other mangroves it occurs in the intertidal zones of estuarine areas and has the characteristic Mangroves (generally are Trees and Shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the Tropics and Subtropics. Rhizophoraceae is a family constituted by Tropical or Subtropical Flowering plants Among the better known members are Mangrove
