About Lenisa geminipuncta Haworth, 1809
Lenisa is a monotypic moth genus in the family Noctuidae. It was first formally erected by Michael Fibiger, Alberto Zilli, and László Aladár Ronkay in 2005. This genus contains only one species: Lenisa geminipuncta. This species was first described by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1809, under the original name given in its current scientific classification. Lenisa geminipuncta is distributed across southern and central Europe, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Iraq, and the Caucasus. A number of authors do not recognize the genus Lenisa as valid, instead treating it as a junior synonym of the genus Archanara. Under this alternative classification, the species is referred to as Archanara geminipuncta.
