Galactica is a genus of moths in the family Galacticidae.[1][2][3] Mey (2022) argues that it is a junior synonym of Homadaula.[4]
Selected species
[edit]There are up to five species:[1][3]
- Galactica caradjae Walsingham, 1911
- Galactica inornata (Walsingham, 1900)
- Galactica pluripunctella Caradja, 1920
- Galactica variinotella (Chrétien, 1915)

Mey (2022) places Galactica walsinghami in Zarcinia and recognizes Galactica pluripunctella as a variety within his Zarcinia walsinghami.[4]
