Doidae is a small family of Lepidoptera with an exclusively New World distribution, with species occurring in Central America, the south-western United States, and northern South America.

Taxonomical placement

Doidae was elevated to family rank by Julian P. Donahue and John W. Brown in 1987.[1] They have a complex taxonomical history, and have previously been placed in Geometridae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae and Dioptidae among several other families.[2][3] As a family, Doidae was formerly included in superfamily Noctuoidea, but was transferred to the Drepanoidea in 2011 by van Nieukerken et al.[1]

Genera and species

As of May 2024[update], the Global Biodiversity Information Facility lists seven species in two genera for Doidae:[4]

  • Genus Doa Neumoegen & Dyar, 1894 - type genus[1]
    • Doa ampla (Grote, 1878) - South-western US, Mexico[5]
    • Doa cubana Schaus, 1906 - Cuba[6]
    • Doa dora Neumoegen & Dyar, 1894 - Mexico,[7] California[8]
    • Doa raspa Druce, 1894 - Mexico,[9] Belize[10]
    • Doa translucida Dognin, 1910 - Colombia[11]
