''Amerila'' is a genus of moth in the family Arctiidae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth ''Utetheisa ornatrix''. ==Species== * ''Amerila abdominalis'' (Rothschild, 1933) * ''Amerila accra'' (Strand, 1919) * ''Amerila affinis'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila alberti'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila albivitrea'' (Hampson, 1901) * ''Amerila aldabrensis'' (Fryer, 1912) * ''Amerila androfusca'' (Pinhey, 1952) * ''Amerila arthusbertrand'' (Guérin-Méneville, 1830) * ''Amerila astreus'' (Drury, 1773) * ''Amerila bauri'' (Möschler, 1884) * ''Amerila bipartita'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila brunnea'' (Hampson, 1901) * ''Amerila bubo'' (Walker, 1855) * ''Amerila castanea'' (Hampson, 1911) * ''Amerila catinca'' Häuser et Boppre, 1997 * ''Amerila cynira'' (Muller, 1980), ''nomen nudum'' * ''Amerila crokeri'' (MacLeay, 1826) * ''Amerila curta'' (Rothschild, 1917) * ''Amerila erythropus'' (Rothschild, 1917) * ''Amerila eugenia'' (Fabricius, 1794) * ''Amerila femina'' (Berio, 1935) * ''Amerila fennia'' (Druce, 1887) * ''Amerila fumida'' (Swinhoe, 1901) * ''Amerila fuscivena'' (Hampson, 1916) * ''Amerila howardi'' (Pinhey, 1955) * ''Amerila kiellandi'' Häuser et Boppre, 1997 * ''Amerila kuehni'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila lactea'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila leucoptera'' (Hampson, 1901) * ''Amerila lineolata'' (Kiriakoff, 1954) * ''Amerila lucida'' (Muller, 1980), ''nomen nudum'' * ''Amerila lupia'' (Druce, 1887) * ''Amerila luteibarba'' (Hampson, 1901) * ''Amerila madagascariensis'' (Boisduval, 1847) * ''Amerila magnifica'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila makadara'' Häuser et Boppre, 1997 * ''Amerila mulleri'' Häuser et Boppre, 1997 * ''Amerila myrrha'' (Muller, 1980), ''nomen nudum'' * ''Amerila nigrivenosa'' (Grünberg, 1910) * ''Amerila nigroapicalis'' (Aurivillius, 1900) * ''Amerila nigropunctata'' (Bethune-Baker, 1908) * ''Amerila niveivitrea'' (Bartel, 1903) * ''Amerila omissa'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila phaedra'' Weymer, 1892 * ''Amerila piepersii'' Snellen, 1879 * ''Amerila puella'' (Fabricius, ()) * ''Amerila rhodopa'' Walker, 1865 * ''Amerila roseomarginata'' (Rothschild, 1910) * ''Amerila rubripes'' Walker, 1865 * ''Amerila rufifemur'' (Walker, 1855) * ''Amerila rufitarsis'' (Rothschild, 1917) * ''Amerila serica'' Meyrick, 1886 * ''Amerila shimbaensis'' Häuser et Boppre, 1997 * ''Amerila simillima'' (Rothschild, 1917) * ''Amerila syntomina'' (Butler, 1878) * ''Amerila thermochroa'' (Hampson, 1916) * ''Amerila timolis'' (Rothschild, 1914) * ''Amerila vidua'' (Cramer, 1780) * ''Amerila vitrea'' Plötz, 1880 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amerila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
