Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Moodna Hulst, 1890; in Heinrich (1956) USNM Bulletin 207: 283
Explanation of Names
Would appear to be a geographical reference to Moodna Creek in New York, that name said to be from "Moordenaars", a Dutch version of English "murderers". (Hulst, the author of the genus, was a resident of New York City, so this is plausible.)
Numbers
3 North American species (1)
