Glyphodella flavibrunnea
Nausinoe quadrinalis

What is the difference??

Not to be confused:

• Some Eublemmini (Erebidae, Boletobiinae), e.g. Holocryptis
• Some Gonodontini (Geometridae, Ennominae), e.g. Coenina
• Some Epipleminae (Uraniidae)

Some mess exists across current iNat observations.

I keep being confused about some of these red and silver guys spread across several families, so here is a short reminder to myself of European genera containing such beauties. I also added some species for fun, which also share this fantastic convergence towards silver scales shining amidst shades of orange and red.
