Sphrageidus is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. It is considered a synonym of the related genus Euproctis by some authors, but still recognized as valid by others (e.g.Amritpal Singh Kaleka, Devinder Singh & Gagan Preet Kour Bali (2020) Present status of the genus Sphrageidus Maes, 1984 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Lymantriinae) from India. Journal of Threatened Taxa 12(9): 16153–16160. doi:10.11609/jott.5302.12.9.16153-16160), and supported as distinct in molecular phylogenetic studies.Wang, H. et al.
