Antitype (moth)

provided by wikipedia EN

Antitype is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1821.[1][2][3]

The scientific name is derived from the Greek antitupos (something that returns). Hübner probably referred to similarities with a genus which was described earlier, probably Polymixis.[4]

Species

Antitype kalchbergi is now known as Brachygalea kalchbergi (Staudinger, 1897).
