Acronicta is a genus of noctuid moths containing about 150 species distributed mainly in the temperate Holarctic, with some in adjacent subtropical regions. The genus was erected by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Caterpillars of most Acronicta species are unmistakable, with brightly colored hairy spikes, and often feed quite visibly on common foliate trees. The hairy spikes may contain poison, which cause itchy, painful, swollen rash in humans on contact. The larva of the smeared dagger moth is unusually hairy even for this genus. Acronicta species are generally known as dagger moths, as most have one or more black dagger-shaped markings on their forewing uppersides. But some species have a conspicuous dark ring marking instead.
The noctuid (owlet) moth genus Cydosia is the only member of the tribe Cydosiini in the subfamily Acontiinae. The genus was erected by James Duncan with John O. Westwood in 1841. The few species occur from Argentina along the Andes to the Caribbean and Central America, reaching into the southern United States. The unusual format for the authority citation is explained at Butterflies and Moths of the World as "The difficulty can best be overcome by attributing Westwood with anonymous junior authorship."
