}}Ephestris is a genus of tiger moths in the Erebidae family. It contains the single species Ephestris melaxantha.[2] EtymologyThe species name melaxantha derives from the Greek μελανός meaning "black" and "xanthus", meaning "golden-haired" or "yellow", with reference to the striking coloration of the wings, probably a warning to predators.[3] DescriptionEphestris melaxantha has a wingspan of about {{convert|70|mm}}.[4] Despite being a moth, it has diurnal behaviour. DistributionThis species is native to Brazil and the tropical regions of South America.[3][5] References1. ^[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/37479#page/204/mode/2up Biodiversity Library] 2. ^{{LepIndex |id=46765}} Retrieved April 20, 2018. 3. ^1 Didactalia.net 4. ^Alekseev VN, Babenko VG [https://books.google.com/books?id=gjypwZKnp4cC&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=Ephestris+melaxantha&source=bl&ots=LJDaKv2mb2&sig=7f_KG5smH5ZGn57SMrQvb2wAJ20&hl=it&sa=X&ei=hv9RVKGHMsnxaKf3gPgM&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Ephestris%20melaxantha&f=false Butterflies] 5. ^Ephestris at funet External links{{Wikispecies}}{{Commons}}
