Pantheinae</i> A small group of robust, medium to large moths (40–60 mm wingspan). Although placed in their own family (Pantheidae) by Kitching and Rawlins (1999), these moths have since been moved to the Noctuidae as a subfamily by Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) and Lafontaine and Fibiger (2006), largely on the basis of recent molecular work by Mitchell et al. (2000, 2005b). Adults of <i>Panthea</i> have reduced mouthparts and apparently cannot feed. The subfamily contains approximately 20 species in North America, divided among six genera. Four species in two genera occur in AB. The largest genus, <i>Panthea</i>, was recently revised by Anweiler (2009). 1774 * R <i>Panthea acronyctoides</i> (Walker, 1861) L May – M Jul M B – T: Anweiler (2009) L: [Bowman (1951)], Prentice (1962), Ives and Wong (1988), Anweiler (2009) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, PMAE, UASM 1775 * R <i>Panthea virginarius</i> (Grote, 1880) L Jun – L Jul M b – T: Anweiler (2009) L: [Bowman (1951)], Prentice (1962), Anweiler (2009) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, UASM 1776 * R <i>Panthea furcilla</i> (Packard, 1864) M Jun – M Aug M B – T: Anweiler (2009) L: Prentice (1962), Ives and Wong (1988), Anweiler (2009) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, UASM 1776.1 * P <i>Colocasia flavicornis</i> (Smith, 1884)? – B – T: Smith and Dyar (1898), Forbes (1954) 1777 R <i>Colocasia propinquilinea</i> (Grote, 1873) M May – E Jun – B – T: Forbes (1954) L: None C: CNC, UASM <i>63.5. Dilobinae</i> Medium-sized (30–50 mm wingspan) gray, black, and white moths. Historically, most members of this subfamily were included in the Pantheinae, but Kitching and Rawlins (1999) segregated the two member genera (<i>Raphia</i> Hübner, 1821 and <i>Diloba</i> Boisduval, 1840) into their own separate subfamilies, the Raphiinae and the Dilobinae, respectively. Most recently, Fibiger et al. (2009) combined the Raphiinae in an expanded concept of the Dilobinae. Th e Dilobinae, Acronictinae and Pantheinae share many structural characteristics, possibly indicating a common evolutionary origin (Fibiger and Lafontaine 2005; Fibiger et al. 2009). Larvae of most species feed on the foliage of Salicaceae. The subfamily Dilobinae is Holarctic in distribution and comprises 13 described species. Six species occur in North America, one in AB. There have been no recent revisions of the subfamily, but the AB species (<i>Raphia frater</i>) was treated by Forbes (1954), Covell (1984), and Handfield (1999). Th e larva was illustrated in Wagner et al. (1997). 1778 * R <i>Raphia frater</i> Grote, 1864 L May – M Jul M B G T: Forbes (1954), Covell (1984), Handfield (1999) L: Bowman (1951), Prentice (1962), Ives and Wong (1988), Pohl et al. (2004b) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, PMAE, UASM <i>63.6. Acronictinae – dagger moths</i> Mostly medium-sized (30–60 mm wingspan) gray and white moths with black markings. Many species have very attractive larvae covered with long dense setae. The larvae of most North American species feed on the foliage of closely related groups of woody trees or shrubs, although a few species are polyphagous or feed on herbs. The subfamily is Holarctic in distribution, with about 90 species in eight genera in North America; 24 species in four genera occur in AB. Most species are currently placed in the large genus <i>Acronicta</i>, which is known to be polyphyletic and is badly in need of revision. Th e group was last revised over 100 years ago by Smith and Dyar (1898). Most of the AB species were discussed by Forbes (1954), Covell (1984), and Handfield (1999). 1779 * R <i>Acronicta americana</i> (Harris, 1841) L May – E Jul – b G T: Smith and Dyar (1898) L: Bowman (1951), Prentice (1962) C: CNC, NFRC, UASM 1780 * R <i>Acronicta dactylina</i> Grote, 1874 L May – L Jul m B G T: Smith and Dyar (1898) L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Prentice (1962) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, PMAE, UASM 1781 * R <i>Acronicta lepusculina</i> Guenée, 1852 E Jun – E Jul M B G T: Smith and Dyar (1898) L: Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Prentice (1965) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, UASM 1782 * R <i>Acronicta cyanescens</i> Hampson, 1909 L Jun – E Jul M – – T: Smith and Dyar (1898) L: None C: UASM 1783 * R H <i>Acronicta vulpina</i> Guenée, 1883 L May – E Jul M B G T: Smith and Dyar (1898) L: [Bowman (1951)], [Prentice (1962)], Pohl et al.

Cuculliinae – sharks</i> Medium-sized (40–60 mm wingspan) nocturnal moths with elongate, pointed wings. The group is defined by five adult and larval characters. Cuculliinae as currently defined comprises mainly the large genus <i>Cucullia</i> and a few very similar genera. Historically, the subfamily Cuculliinae was large but polyphyletic. It was redefined and greatly reduced in size by Poole (1995), Kitching and Rawlings (1999) and most recently by Fibiger and Lafontaine (2005) and Lafontaine and Fibiger (2006). Th e larvae of most species feed on flowers and fruits of herbaceous plants, in particular Asteraceae. There are about 40 Cuculliinae species in four genera in North America; 12 species (all in the genus <i>Cucullia</i>) are known in AB. Th e group was revised by Poole (1995). 1802.1 * P <i>Cucullia asteroides</i> Guenée, 1852? – b g T: Poole (1995) 1803 R <i>Cucullia montanae</i> Grote, 1882 E Jul – M Aug – – G T: Poole (1995) L: Dod (1916), Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM 1804 * R <i>Cucullia similaris</i> Smith, 1892 M Jul – Aug – – G T: Poole (1995) L: Dod (1916), Bowman (1951), Hooper (1992), Poole (1995) C: CNC 1805 * R <i>Cucullia omissa</i> Dod, 1916 L Jun – M Jul M b – T: Poole (1995) L: Dod (1916), Bowman (1951), Crumb (1956), Poole (1995) C: CNC, OLDS, UASM, USNM 1806 R <i>Cucullia florea</i> Guenée, 1852 E Jun – L Jul M B – T: Poole (1995) L: Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, PMAE, UASM 1807 R <i>Cucullia postera</i> Guenée, 1852 E Jun – E Aug M B g T: Poole (1995) L: Dod (1916), Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM 1807.1 * P <i>Cucullia convexipennis</i> Grote and Robinson, 1868? – – G T: Poole (1995) 1808 R <i>Cucullia intermedia</i> Speyer, 1870 E May – M Jul M B G T: Poole (1995) L: Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, NFRC, OLDS, PMAE, UASM 1809 R <i>Cucullia speyeri</i> Lintner, 1874 M May – L Jul – b G T: Poole (1995) L: Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM 1810 * R <i>Cucullia dorsalis</i> Smith, 1892 L May – – G T: Poole (1995) L: Crumb (1956) C: CNC, UASM 1811 R <i>Cucullia antipoda</i> Strecker, 1878 L May – L Jun – – G T: Poole (1995) L: Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM 1812 R <i>Cucullia luna</i> Morrison, 1875 L Jun – M Aug – – G T: Poole (1995) L: Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM 1813 * R <i>Cucullia strigata</i> (Smith, 1892) E Jun M – – T: Poole (1995) L: Poole (1995) C: CNC, NFRC, UASM 1814 * R <i>Cucullia albida</i> (Smith, 1894) M ApriL – L May M b g T: Poole (1995) L: Bowman (1951), Poole (1995) C: CNC, UASM, USNM
