Oncocnemidinae</i> Medium-sized (30–50 mm wingspan) moths, mostly gray or brown in color, some with bright yellow hindwings. Adults of most species are nocturnal, but a number of alpine and subalpine species are diurnal, and a number of steppe species may be active both day and night. Th e Oncocnemidinae were treated as a tribe of the Cuculliinae by Kitching and Rawlins (1999); Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) have placed them in a separate subfamily, which is the treatment followed here. Th e subfamily Oncocnemidinae is defined by the following characters: a long narrow vesica with a field of spines on the apical half, a long spinneret, and unusually long setae on the apex of the palps. The Oncocnemidinae have a Holarctic distribution, but species richness is most notable in the arid parts of western North America. Th ere are about 200 described species in 10 genera in North America, the vast majority in the large genus <i>Sympistis</i>. Thirty-nine described species in four genera are reported from AB. A number of species were described by Troubridge and Crabo (1999). Troubridge (2008) realigned the subfamily and transferred the genera <i>Apharetra</i>, <i>Hemistilbia</i>, <i>Adita</i>, <i>Lepipolys</i>, <i>Homoncocnemis, Homohadena</i> and <i>Oncocnemis</i> to <i>Sympistis,</i> and described 50 new North American species, three of which occur in Alberta. All species of <i>Sympistis</i> were illustrated in color by Troubridge (2008). Most northern species were also treated and illustrated in color in Handfield (1999), and a few western species, including both adults and larvae, were treated and illustrated in color by Miller and Hammond (2000, 2003). The phylogenetic order used for the subfamily here follows Troubridge (2008). 1826 R <i>Catabena lineolata</i> Walker, 1865 M May – L Jul – – G T: Forbes (1954) L: None C: CNC, UASM 1827 * R <i>Pseudacontia crustaria</i> (Morrison, 1875) L Jun – – G L: None C: NFRC, UASM 1828 * R <i>Pleromelloida conserta</i> (Grote, 1881) M ApriL – L Jun M b g L: None C: CNC, OLDS, UASM 1829 * R <i>Pleromelloida bonuscula</i> (Smith, 1898) L May – b G L: None C: DAM 1830 * R <i>Pleromelloida cinerea</i> (Smith, 1904) L Aug – E Sep M – – L: None C: CNC, UASM 1831 * R <i>Sympistis albifasciata</i> (Hampson, 1906) Aug – – G L: Bowman (1951) C: CNC 1832 * R <i>Sympistis saundersiana</i> (Grote, 1876) L Aug – E Sep – – g T: Forbes (1954) L: None C: BIRD 1833 R <i>Sympistis occata</i> (Grote, 1875) L May – M Jun – – G L: Bowman (1951) C: UASM 1834 * U <i>Sympistis umbrifascia</i> (Smith, 1894) Jul – Aug M – – L: Crumb (1956) C: Unknown 1834.1 * P <i>Sympistis balteata</i> (Smith, 1902)? – – G 1834.2 * P <i>Sympistis parvanigra</i> (Blackmore, 1923) Jul – Aug M – – 1835 R <i>Sympistis viriditincta</i> (Smith, 1894) L Aug – – g T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951) C: UASM 1836 R <i>Sympistis stabilis</i> (Smith, 1895) L Jun – M Aug – b G L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956) C: CNC, OLDS, PMAE, UASM 1837 R <i>Sympistis badistriga</i> (Grote, 1872) M Jul – M Aug – B g T: Forbes (1954) L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Pohl et al.

Agaristinae – foresters</i> Medium-sized (30–40 mm wingspan), brightly colored, predominantly diurnal moths with brightly colored larvae. Adults of many species are capable of sound production, which appears to be involved in courtship. About 300 species of agaristines are known globally, mostly from tropical regions. Twenty-seven species in 12 genera occur in North America; three species are known in AB. Th e group has not been revised recently but is well defined phylogenetically (Kitching and Rawlins 1999). 1865 R <i>Alypia langtoni</i> Couper, 1865 M May – E Jul M B g L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956) C: CNC, NFRC, PMAE, UASM 1866 * R <i>Alypia ridingsii</i> Grote, 1865 Jun – Jul M – – L: None C: UASM 1867 R <i>Androloma maccullochii</i> (Kirby, 1837) M Jun – M Jul M b – L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956) C: CNC, PMAE, UASM <i>63.11. Condicinae</i> Medium-sized (30–50 mm wingspan) moths. Th e subfamily is divided into two tribes, Condicini and Leuconyctini, both of which were defined in detail by Poole (1995). Both are defined mainly by characters of the male and female genitalia, as well as larval setal patterns. Larval host plants are mostly members of Asteraceae. This family is most diverse in the tropics. Th e North American fauna contains some 54 species in 11 genera; four species in three genera occur in AB. The subfamily has not been revised at the species level, and the large genus <i>Condica</i> in particular is badly in need of revision.
