Coenipeta bibitrix is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae. The species is found from southern Florida and southern Texas, south to northern South America.

Ennomos subsignaria, the elm spanworm moth, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. It is found in North America from Texas (south) to Alberta (northwest) and east to the Atlantic coast. It is recorded infrequently in Great Britain through accidental importation in asparagus.

Epascestria pustulalis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is found in large parts of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the Benelux, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Slovenia and Croatia. It is also present in the Near East, including Lebanon and Turkey.

Eulepidotis alabastraria is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. Many former members of the moth family Noctuidae are classified in the family Erebidae now, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae. This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme. It is found from the southern part of the United States to Central and South America.

Euparthenos is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1876. Its only species, Euparthenos nubilis, the locust underwing, was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. The adults resemble some of the underwing moths of genus Catocala, which are fairly close relatives, in color, pattern, and the habit of resting on tree trunks. But E. nubilis can usually be immediately recognized by the four concentric black bands per hindwing, as opposed to one or two in Catocala. Color morphs of E. nubilis with altered pattern are known, however, and these may be hard to recognize without detailed examination.

Eustixia is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. Its only species, Eustixia pupula, the spotted peppergrass moth, described by the same author in the same publication, is found in North America from Massachusetts to Florida, west to Texas and north to Ontario.

Hippotion osiris is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is common throughout most of the Ethiopian Region, including Madagascar and the Seychelles. Occasional vagrants have been recorded from Spain. It is uncommon on the East African coast. This species is an occasional migrant.

It is found in the temperate areas of the eastern United States, north into southern Canada over the Great Plains. It prefers gardens and yards, but is common wherever the nectar and larval host plants are found. This moth is easily confused with the Canadian sphinx but these two moths do not typically co-occur.

Macroglossum trochilus, the African hummingbird hawk-moth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823. It is very common in most habitats throughout southern and eastern Africa and in the Comoro Islands.
