List of moths of Nepal (Bombycidae)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of Bombycidae of Nepal. Fifteen different species are listed.

This list is primarily based on Colin Smith's 2010 "Lepidoptera of Nepal",[1] which is based on Toshiro Haruta's "Moths of Nepal (Vol. 1-6)"[2] with some recent additions and a modernized classification. The genus Mustilia is however placed under the family Endromidae now. [3]
