Myserla is a monotypic moth genus in the subfamily Arctiinae. Its only species, Myserla transversa, is found in Brazil. The species was first described as Sermyla transversa by Francis Walker in 1854.[1][2] The genus name Sermyla was replaced by Myserla in 2017, as the former name was a junior homonym of a gastropod genus described earlier in 1854.[3]
