Introduction

Genus Cycloprora Turner, 1920 stat. rev. reinstated as a valid genus by Kiss (2017)

“Poole (1989) included Cycloprora in the subfamily Amphipyrinae, subsequently restricted to the genus Amphipyra by Kitching & Rawlins (1999)[sic]. Other genera formerly treated in the subfamily Amphipyrinae are treated as Hadeninae by Kitching & Rawlins (1999)[sic]. Poole (1989) included only 1 species in the genus Cycloprora.” (Pitkin & Jenkins 2017, cited in Kiss 2017).
