Whalleyana (
Viette, 1977) is an enigmatic
genus of
moths in the
Lepidopteran group
Obtectomera, endemic to
Madagascar. The genus contains two
species, whose biology and closest relatives are unknown. The genus had been placed in the picture-winged leaf moths (
Thyrididae), but then was placed in its own family (Minet, 1991), and later elevated to its own superfamily (Dugdale et al., 1999: 229-230); see also Fänger (2004). The genus was named after Paul E. S. Whalley, a British entomologist.
