Therinia is a genus of moths in the family Saturniidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.[1]

Species

Additional species have been described (T. camacana, T. diffguyana, T. peggyae, and T. trimacula), but these are debated as there are no morphological differences between these and other existing species. However, due to their differences in DNA, they can be considered separate species in some cases.[2]
