Subfamily Stictopterinae
Introduction
[After Edwards 1996: 309]
The world fauna was revised by Hampson (1912) and the Indoaustralian species were reviewed by Gaede (1937) in Seitz's Macrolepidoptera of the World. The Australian species were revised by Turner (1920). Holloway described many species in Lephoptera Guenée but did not solve the problems with this genus in Australia.
Australia has about 16 species and all are found in tropical or subtropical areas.
