Trigonodes Explained

Trigonodes is a genus of moths erected by Achille Guenée in 1852.^[1] The genus was in the family Noctuidae, but is now mostly classified in the family Erebidae, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae.^[2] This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme.^[3]
