Dioptinae


Dioptinae is a subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae.
The Dioptinae are an almost exclusively neotropical group of day-flying moths, many of which exhibit bright wing coloration and are involved in mimicry rings with butterflies and moths of the subfamilies Sterrhinae and Arctiinae.

Taxonomy

The subfamily was formerly placed in a separate family. Furthermore, the tribe Josiini has been treated as a family by Piepers & Snellen in 1900 and as a subfamily by Kiriakoff in 1950.
