Inoue & Sugi (1992)於台灣鱗翅目誌收錄了尺蛾科枝尺蛾亞科(Ennominae)之大型尺蛾類Elphos Guenée, 1858屬共兩種，Holloway (1993)基於雌雄生殖器結構之相似性，將此屬視為另一大型尺蛾類群Amblychia Guenée, 1857屬之同物異名。據Parsons等人(1999)的統計Amblychia全世界共有21種與4亞種，分布中心為熱帶東方區，另有一種產於大洋洲的新喀里多尼亞 (New Caledonia) (Holloway, 1976)。
TaiBNET名錄原收錄Elphos屬之moltrechti與sauteri兩種，經同物異名處理後Amblychia屬共計3種:
Amblychia angeronaria Guenée , 1857 白斑褐尺蛾 (本屬模式種)
Amblychia moltrechti (Bastelberger, 1909) 大褐尺蛾
Amblychia sauteri (Prout, 1914) 異大褐尺蛾
