Kingdom Animalia Class Insecta Superfamily Noctuoidea Rank Genus | Phylum Arthropoda Order Lepidoptera Family Erebidae | |
Faeculoides is a genus of moths of the Erebidae family. Despite containing some long-known species, the genus' distinctness was noted only in 2008.
Initially and briefly, the genus was known as Faecula. That name was earlier given to a genus of cylindrical bark beetles, and the moth genus was soon renamed.
