[NOTE: The two species of Afrida included by Franclemont (1983) are related to the type species, A. tortriciformis Möschler, from Jamaica; Kitching and Rawlins (1999) removed Afridini from Arctiidae. Ferguson believed that Afrida exegens Dyar is not congeneric with other species of Afrida and requires a new generic name. In addition, Ferguson suspected that exergens may be a lithosiine; therefore we retain exegens as an unplaced arctiid.]
