Given the reference text about moths, what family does Bityla sericea belong to?

Bityla sericea is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is classified as "At Risk, Naturally Uncommon" by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. This species was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1877 using a specimen obtained from John Enys and collected in the South Island.[1][2] George Hudson discussed and illustrated this species both in his 1898 book, New Zealand moths and butterflies (Macro-lepidoptera) and his 1928 publication The Butterflies and Moths of New Zealand.[3][4] In 1905 Hudson, thinking he was describing a new species, also gave the species the name Orthosia pallida.[5] George Francis Hampson, also mistakenly believing this was a separate species placed O. pallida in the genus Bityla.[6] Hudson discussed B. pallida in his 1928 publication.[4] John S. Dugdale synonymised B. pallida with B. sericea in 1988.[1] The holotype specimen of B. sericea is held at the Natural History Museum, London.[1]
