Euxoa altens is a moth of the family Noctuidae. [1] It is found from British Columbia, south to Oregon and California.
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.
Euxoa messoria, the darksided cutworm or reaper dart, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Thaddeus William Harris in 1841. It is found from Newfoundland west to Yukon, south to Virginia and Missouri in the east and New Mexico, Arizona and California in the west.
Euxoa simulata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia down to California.
Euxoa catenula is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1879. It is found in North America from southern Saskatchewan west to southern Vancouver Island, south to Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California.
Euxoa mimallonis is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Smith in 1890. It is found in North America from Nova Scotia west to coastal British Columbia, south in the east to Michigan and Minnesota, in the west to central California and New Mexico.
Euxoa tessellata, the tessellate dart or striped cutworm is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is the most widespread Euxoa-species in North America. It is found from Newfoundland to Alaska, south in the west to California, Arizona, New Mexico, south in the east to Florida. It seems to be absent from Texas and adjacent eastern states.
Euxoa declarata, the clear dart, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1865. It is found in Canada in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon and Manitoba. It is found as far west as central Alaska. In the United States it is also found to Minnesota and North Carolina in the east and Arizona, New Mexico and California in the west.
Euxoa divergens, the divergent dart, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1857. It is found in North America from Newfoundland to Alaska, south to New York and Michigan in the east, and in the mountains of the west, south to New Mexico, Arizona and California.
Euxoa aequalis is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Leon F. Harvey in 1876. It is found in Canada from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Yukon, south into the United States, where it has been recorded from Colorado, Wyoming and California.
Euxoa atomaris is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Smith in 1890. It is found in North America from North Dakota, southern Alberta and British Columbia, south to central New Mexico, Arizona and southern California.
Euxoa atristrigata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia and Saskatchewan, south to California.
Euxoa auripennis is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by J. Donald Lafontaine in 1974. It is found in western North America from eastern North Dakota and south-western Manitoba west to central British Columbia, south to southern California and Colorado.
Euxoa basalis is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northern Territories in Canada, south to Colorado, Arizona and California. It is abundant in the Rocky Mountain region.
Euxoa biformata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia, south to California.
Euxoa comosa, the hairy euxoa moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Herbert Knowles Morrison in 1876. It is found in western North America, except the Pacific coast, ranging east through the northern Great Plains, and in the Hudsonian zone to the Atlantic Ocean. It is found in every province and territory of Canada, except Nunavut.
Euxoa eruta is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Fennoscandia, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Belarus, the Baltic region, Siberia and from central Asia up to the Altai Mountains. Note that E. eruta may not be a good species. The Euxoa tritici complex consists of five sibling species in Europe: Euxoa tritici, Euxoa nigrofusca, Euxoa eruta, Euxoa diaphora Boursin, 1928 and Euxoa segnilis. Furthermore, although Fibiger (1997) treated Euxoa montivaga differently it belongs to the E. tritici complex. Differences among the species are subtle, the most important diagnostic characteristics being genitalic. In studies of three of these species, E. tritici, E. nigrofusca and E. eruta, no support was found for the presence of several morphologically distinguishable species with quantitative morphometric analyses.
Euxoa edictalis is a moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Smith in 1893. It is found in North America from south central Alberta and east-central Montana, west to south-central British Columbia, south to central California, southern Nevada, central Utah and western Colorado.
