Genus Collita Moore, 1878

Collita Moore, 1878, Proceedings of the general meetings for scientific business of the Zoological Society of London, 1878: 16.

Type species: Bombyx griseola Hübner, [1803] 1796, by original designation.

Notes. The genus was restored from the synonymy with Eilema and characterised by Dubatolov & Zolotuhin (2011). Most taxa of the genus were reviewed by Ignatyev & Witt (2007) as “the Eilema griseola (Hübner, 1803) species group”. Two additional species have subsequently been described by Bayarsaikhan et al. (2016) and Dubatolov & Bucsek (2016).
