The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 genera and 11,772 species. However, this classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae.
The Tomato Looper or golden twin-spot moth(Chrysodeixis chalcites) is a moth of the family Noctuidae, subfamily Plusiinae. It is found from southern Europe, the Levant and tropical Africa, but can be found in great parts of Europe because it is a migratory species. It has also recently been reported from North America.
Drasteria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Spodoptera eridania is a moth that is known to be a pest. They are one of the most important defoliators in the tropical and subtropical regions of the western hemisphere that feed heavily on plants while they are young, often resulting in skeleton leaves on their food plants. They are also heavy feeders on tomato in Florida. There is a lot of development in producing pesticides against the S. eridania, specifically a neem-based pesticide that can result in smaller and prolonged development. The wingspan is 33–38 mm. Adults are on wing year-round. The larvae feed on various weeds but prefer Amaranthus species and Phytolacca americana.
Catocala junctura, the joined underwing or Stretch's underwing, is an moth in the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1858. It is found throughout temperate North America ranging from New York and Pennsylvania west to Montana, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona and into Texas, and north to southern Illinois, extreme southern Alberta and Saskatchewan; it has also been recorded west of the Rocky Mountains from California and south-eastern British Columbia. It is typically found near water, where the food plants of its caterpillar larvae grow plentifully.
Heliothis acesias is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from north-eastern Nevada and southern Idaho, northward to southern Alberta, then eastward to southern and eastern Ontario.
Hypocoena stigmatica is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found on the Faroe Islands and Iceland, as well as parts of Russia and Alaska.
Stephens' gem or the bilobed looper is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is widely distributed from the southern parts of the United States, south through Central America and South America up to Argentina. As a seasonal migrant it occurs even farther north into the northern parts of the United States and southern Canada. Here it usually produces one or two generations each summer, but rarely survives the winter this far north. It also occurs in the Hawaiian Islands but it is unknown if the species occurs there naturally or was introduced. It has also been recorded in Great Britain, where it is either a rare migrant or introduced by travel on ships crossing the Atlantic.
Raphia frater, the Brother Moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from Nova Scotia west, across the forested regions of Canada to British Columbia, south to Mississippi in the east. The southern limits in the west are uncertain due to confusion with several closely related species or forms.
Acronicta major is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in the Korean Peninsula, China to Tibet, Japan, the Russian Far East, southern Siberia (Altai), northern India and Nepal.
Mesogona olivata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from southern coastal and interior British Columbia south through California, Colorado and Texas. It most likely also occurs in northern Mexico.
Chazaria incarnata is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found on the Canary Islands and on the Iberian Peninsula, east to Italy, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Greece. Further east it is found to southern and eastern Russia in the north and Turkey, the Dead Sea region of Israel and Iran.
Euxoa adumbrata, the sordid dart, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Eduard Friedrich Eversmann in 1842. In North America it is found across northern Canada from Quebec to western Alaska, south to the northern parts of the United States, and in the mountains to Colorado. It is also found in Greenland, the coastal areas of Scandinavia and the Ural. It was recently recorded from Denmark, although this includes Euxoa lidia, which some authors regard to be a valid species.
Lasionycta perplexa is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is widely distributed from southern Alaska and Yukon in the north to California, Utah, and Colorado in the South. A disjunct population is found on the east coast of Hudson Bay at Kuujjuaraapik.
Lasionycta perplexella is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from southern Yukon to southern Alberta and southern Washington.
Lasionycta subfuscula is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from south-western British Columbia and south-western Alberta south to southern Oregon in the west and to southern Colorado and Utah in the Rocky Mountains.
Lasionycta impingens is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It occurs from southern Yukon to Colorado.
The Erebidae are a family of moths in the superfamily Noctuoidea. The family is among the largest families of moths by species count and contains a wide variety of well-known macromoth groups. The family includes the underwings (Catocala); litter moths (Herminiinae); tiger, lichen, and wasp moths (Arctiinae); tussock moths (Lymantriinae), including the arctic woolly bear moth ; piercing moths ; micronoctuoid moths (Micronoctuini); snout moths (Hypeninae); and zales, though many of these common names can also refer to moths outside the Erebidae. Some of the erebid moths are called owlets.
Resapamea passer, the dock rustic moth, is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found from central Alberta to northern Arizona in the Rocky Mountain region. In the mid-Continent it ranges from Minnesota and southern Ontario to Oklahoma and North Carolina, reaching the Atlantic Coast from Newfoundland to Maryland. The habitat consists of wetlands.
Resapamea hedeni is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found from southern Europe to Japan.
