What is "axia"

Axia, or the "Gold Moths", is a genus of moths whose precise relationships within the Macrolepidoptera1 are currently uncertain, but they currently represent a superfamily whose nearest relatives include the butterflies, Calliduloidea, Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Bombycoidea, Mimallonoidea and Lasiocampoidea, and the Noctuoidea. Uniquely, they have a pair of pocket-like organs on the seventh abdominal spiracle of the adult moth which are possibly sound receptive organs . They are quite large and brightly coloured moths that occur only in Southern Europe and feed on species of Euphorbia. Sometimes they are attracted to light .

One species, Epicimelia theresiae, was formerly included in this genus, but has since been recognized as distinct; it is the only other described species in the family.

The gens Axia, also spelled Axsia, was a plebeian family at Rome during the final century of the Republic. The gens does not appear to have been particularly large or important, although at least some of the family were reasonably wealthy.
