Subfamily Herminiinae - Litter Moths
New North American Records of the Asian Species, Simplicia Cornicalis, in Florida and Louisiana By Vernon A. Brou, Jr., Terhune S. Dickel, J. B. Heppner
Lepidoptera Novae, Vol. 3 No.1, pp.53-56 , 2010
ABSTRACT- The Old World tropical species, Simplicia cornicalis (Fabricius), is recorded for the first time from North America in the states of Florida and Louisiana. Autumn records are documented for captures since 2006 in central Florida and since 2008 in southern Louisiana. The species is known throughout Southeast and East Asia, from India to southern Japan, to Australia and New Guinea, as well as from Hawaii and the South Pacific islands, feeding mostly on dried plant leaves and plant debris, rotting seed pods, and particularly palm thatch. Rapid spread in the southeastern United States is likely, possibly also to Mexico and Central America.

A new Zanclognatha from eastern North America and a preliminary key to the larvae of the genus... By Wagner, D.L. & T.L. McCabe
ZooKeys 149: 89-101, 2011
Wagner, D.L. & T.L. McCabe, 2011. A new Zanclognatha from eastern North America and a preliminary key to the larvae of the genus (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Herminiinae). ZooKeys 149: 89-101.
The adult of a widespread but previously undescribed species of Zanclognatha Lederer is described from eastern North America. Images of the mature larva and life history data for Zanclognatha dentata sp. n. are included, along with a preliminary key to the larvae of ten eastern North American Zanclognatha species.
Similar species discussed include Z. protumnusalis, protumnusalis, martha, lituralis.
