Morphology

genus + Eacles

The phrase is a straightforward taxonomic construction: 'genus' (a biological rank) combined with the proper name 'Eacles' denotes the genus called Eacles. This composition is fully compositional and follows common cross-linguistic naming patterns, so a learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it refers to that group of moth species.

Etymology

Genus Eacles may come from an old Greek word meaning 'bright' or 'splendid', giving an image of shine and strong color. That image helps you remember it is the name for a group of large, often colorful moths like the imperial moth.
