Ammatho is a genus in the moth family Erebidae. There are about 15 described species in Ammatho, found in South and Southeast Asia.[1][2]
Ammatho formerly consisted of more than 75 species in 8 subgenera, but as a result of molecular phylogenetic research, most of the subgenera were elevated to genus rank and all but 15 of the species were moved the new genera.[2]
This genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1855.[3]
