060719 宜蘭 四季蘭林道 Amblychia moltrechti (Bastelberger, 1909)
Amblychia moltrechti (Bastelberger, 1909) (Female)

Inoue & Sugi (1992)於台灣鱗翅目誌收錄了尺蛾科枝尺蛾亞科(Ennominae)之大型尺蛾類Elphos Guenée, 1858屬共兩種,Holloway (1993)基於雌雄生殖器結構之相似性,將此屬視為另一大型尺蛾類群Amblychia Guenée, 1857屬之同物異名。據Parsons等人(1999)的統計Amblychia全世界共有21種與4亞種,分布中心為熱帶東方區,另有一種產於大洋洲的新喀里多尼亞 (New Caledonia) (Holloway, 1976)。

TaiBNET名錄原收錄Elphos屬之moltrechti與sauteri兩種,經同物異名處理後Amblychia屬共計3種:

Amblychia angeronaria Guenée , 1857 白斑褐尺蛾 (本屬模式種)
Amblychia moltrechti (Bastelberger, 1909) 大褐尺蛾
Amblychia sauteri (Prout, 1914) 異大褐尺蛾
