Epiglaea is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
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.
Apantesis is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae first described by Francis Walker in 1855. They are found in North and Central America.
The Caradrinini are a mid-sized tribe of moths in the family Noctuidae.
Virbia is a genus of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Francis Walker in 1854.
Acontia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was named by Ferdinand Ochsenheimer in 1816. Eusceptis, Pseudalypia and Spragueia are sometimes included in the present genus, but here they are tentatively treated as different pending further research. Many species of Tarache were also once placed here.
Chytonix is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Drasteria is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.
Euxoa is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae raised to Genus by the German entomologist, Jacob Hübner. The Genus is mostly confined to dry and semi dry areas in the Northern Hemisphere. There 130 species in Eurasia, a few in Africa, and 175 in North America. There are no species in the Genus in South-East Asia or in Australia. In North America, most species are found in Western regions. Of the North American species, 4 are endemic to Mexico. There is one species recorded from Chile, but this may be a mislabeled specimen. In real terms, species numbers do not equal species abundance. Some areas with few species have large numbers of the ones that do live there.
Feralia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1874.
Lacanobia is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae.
Lasionycta is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.

Parabagrotis is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae.
Stiria is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae. The genus was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1874.

Macroglossini is a tribe of moths of the family Sphingidae described by Thaddeus William Harris in 1839.
Stiriinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 20 genera and 130 described species in Stiriinae.
Epiglaea decliva, the sloping sallow moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Quebec and Maine to South Carolina, west to Kansas and north to Alberta. The habitat consists of barrens, thickets, woodlots and forests.
