Noctuid
The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are a family of moths. They are considered 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. This classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae. Description Adult: Most noctuid adults have drab wings, but some subfamilies, such as Acronictinae and Agaristinae, are very colorful, especially those from tropical regions (e.g. '' Baorisa hieroglyphica''). They are characterized by a structure in the metathorax called the nodular sclerite or epaulette, which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stiriinae
Stiriinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 20 genera and 130 described species in Stiriinae. Stiriinae was formed as a result of phylogenetic research published in 2019, when the tribe Stiriini was determined to be polyphyletic, with much of its diversity spread among three subfamilies. One of the three subfamilies was the existing family Metoponiinae. The other two subfamilies, Grotellinae and Stiriinae, were previously subtribes of Stiriini and were elevated to subfamily rank. Stiriini and Annaphilini are now tribes of the new subfamily Stiriinae, containing the majority of genera from the former subtribes Stiriina and Annaphilina. Genera These 21 genera belong to the subfamily Stiriinae: ; Tribe Annaphilini : '' Cerathosia'' Smith, 1887 ; Tribe Stiriini Grote, 1882 : '' Angulostiria'' Poole, 1995 : '' Argentostiria'' Poole, 1995 : '' Basilodes'' Guenée, 1852 : '' Bistica'' Dyar, 1912 : '' Chalcopasta'' Hampson, 1908 : '' Chrysoec ...

Heliothinae
Heliothinae is a small, cosmopolitan subfamily of moths in the family Noctuidae, with about 400 described species worldwide. It includes a number of economically significant agricultural pest species, such as ''Helicoverpa armigera'' and '' Helicoverpa zea''. Taxonomy The subfamily has been studied extensively. Important works include studies by Hardwick (1965 and 1970) and Matthews (1988). Distribution and diversity Heliothinae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of around 400 species. Its species thrive in hot, dry regions of the world, and the subfamily has its highest species diversity in seasonally-arid tropics and subtropics, such as those found Australia, sections of Asia, the southwest region of the United States, and Africa. Larvae The subfamily includes both specialist species, of which the larvae feed on only a limited range of plants, and polyphagous generalist species. The subfamily contains several agricultural pests, including ''Helicoverpa armigera'', '' Helicoverpa a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amphipyrinae
Amphipyrinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are more than 50 genera and 210 described species in Amphipyrinae, although the classifications are likely to change over time. This subfamily has been used as a catchall for members of Noctuidae that don't fit well into other subfamilies. As such, many of its members lack morphological traits that would allow assignment into one of the other subfamilies. Genetic analysis conducted on Amphipyrinae is improving the classification of these genera. In 2021, phylogenetic research resulted in 11 genera being transferred from Amphipyrinae to six different subfamilies, and it is expected that more members of Amphipyrinae will be reassigned as further research is done. Psaphidini is included here as a tribe, but is sometimes treated as the subfamily Psaphidinae. The Australian genera in Acronictinae are sometimes considered part of Amphipyrinae.

Cutworm
Cutworms are moth larvae that hide under litter or soil during the day, coming out in the dark to feed on plants. A larva typically attacks the first part of the plant it encounters, namely the stem, often of a seedling, and consequently cuts it down; hence the name ''cutworm''. Cutworms are not worms, biologically speaking, but caterpillars. Feeding and hiding Cutworm larvae vary in their feeding behaviour; some remain with the plant they cut down and feed on it, while others often move on after eating a small amount from a felled seedling; such a wasteful mode of feeding results in disproportionate damage to crops. Cutworms accordingly are serious pests to gardeners in general, but to vegetable and grain farmers in particular. For example, it has been suggested that in South Africa for one, '' Agrotis segetum'' is the second worst pest of maize.Smit, Bernard, "Insects in South Africa: How to Control them", Pub: Oxford University Press, Cape Town, 1964.

Plusiinae
Plusiinae is a smallish (for noctuid standards) subfamily of the moth family Noctuidae. As the Noctuidae appear to be a paraphyletic assemblage, the Plusiinae may eventually be raised to family status (Weller ''et al.'' 1994).

Noctuinae
The Noctuinae are a subfamily of the family Noctuidae, and is composed of moths. The larvae of many species feed on roots or stems of various grasses. Some are generalist feeders which makes them potential pests. Noctuid systematics is in a state of flux; the list of tribes is provisional and other groups now considered more distinct (e.g. Hadeninae Hadeninae was formerly a subfamily of the moth family Noctuidae, but was merged into the subfamily Noctuinae. The tribes Apameini, Caradrinini, Elaphriini, Episemini, Eriopygini, Hadenini, Leucaniini, Orthosiini, and Xylenini The Xylenin ...) were formerly included here. Likewise, the validity of the tribe Xestiini is doubtful for example. See also * List of Noctuinae genera References * {{Noctuinae-stub ...
