Tetrisia is an invalid genus name for a species of moths in the family Erebidae, containing a single species, T. florigera. It was described by Francis Walker in 1867. It is found in South America, including Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia.
Taxonomy
The genus name is a homonym of Tetrisia Walker, 1867, a genus of plataspid bugs, published four months earlier, so the moth name must be formally replaced.[1]
The species Dysschema tricolora (Sulzer, 1776) has been mistakenly listed in the literature under the genus Tetrisia.[2]
