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 misturata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America.
Euxoa nomas is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae described by Nikolay Grigoryevich Erschoff in 1874. It is found in Iran and Turkestan, as well as Alaska and Canada.
Euxoa cos is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in southern Europe, the Near East and Middle East.
Euxoa campestris, the flat dart, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1875. It is found in North America from Newfoundland to Alaska, south to New England and southern Canada from southern Quebec west to British Columbia. In the west it is distributed southward in the Rocky Mountains to southern New Mexico, east-central Arizona, and central Utah. In the east it occurs in the Appalachians in eastern Kentucky and in western North Carolina.
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 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.
Euxoa altens is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia, south to Oregon and California.
Euxoa atristrigata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia and Saskatchewan, south to California.
Euxoa biformata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from British Columbia, south to California.
Euxoa chimoensis is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in Quebec, Labrador, and Manitoba.
Euxoa cinereopallidus is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada. It is also found in the United States, including Utah and Texas.
Euxoa costata is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in British Columbia, south into the north-western United States where it is abundant in the ponderosa pine forests east of the Cascade Mountains.
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 aquilina is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in the Mediterranean region of Europe, North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East.
Euxoa ochrogaster, the red-backed cutworm, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found from Iceland and northern Europe, through the Baltic to the Amur region.
