Apantesis is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae first described by Francis Walker in 1855. They are found in North and Central America.[1][2][3][4][5][excessive citations]

As a result of phylogenetic research published in 2016, the genera Grammia, Holarctia, and Notarctia have been merged with Apantesis, and their species are now members of the genus Apantesis.[6][7]

Species

The genus contains the following species:[3]

Apantesis arge, larva
