Ceryx (moth)

Ceryx is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. It was described by Hans Daniel Johan Wallengren in 1863. The genus was circumscribed in 2022 such that it only contains Afro-tropical species; many former Ceryx species were transferred to the then-revalidated Agaphthora. These changes are not (yet) universally adopted and the list of species below does not reflect them.
