Rahona is a genus of moths in the subfamily Lymantriinae. It was named by Paul Griveaud in 1975.[1][2]

Quick Facts Scientific classification ...

Most of the species of this genus occur in central Africa or Madagascar.

The name was inadvertently used again in 1998 for a fossil species of Avian theropod Rahona ostromi, by Catherine Forster and colleagues. When they discovered that the name had already been used by Griveaud, they renamed the fossil Rahonavis.[3]
