title: Data from: Towards resolving and redefining Amphipyrinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Noctuidae): a massively polyphyletic taxon

description: Amphipyrinae have long been a catchall taxon for Noctuidae, with most
 members lacking discernible morphological synapomorphies that would allow
 their assignment to one of the many readily diagnosable noctuid
 subfamilies. Here data from seven gene regions (&gt;5,500 base pairs)
 for more than 120 noctuid genera are used to infer a phylogeny for
 Amphipyrinae and related subfamilies. Sequence data for 57 amphipyrine
 genera—most represented by the type species of the genus—are examined.
 Presented here are: the first large-scale molecular phylogenetic study of
 Amphipyrinae and largest molecular phylogeny of Noctuidae to date; several
 proposed nomenclatural changes for well supported results; and the
 identification of areas of noctuid phylogeny where greater taxon sampling
 and/or genomic-scale data are needed. Adult and larval morphology, along
 with life history traits, for taxonomic groupings most relevant to the
 results are discussed. Amphipyrinae are significantly redefined; many
 former amphipyrines, excluded as a result of these analyses, are
 reassigned to other noctuid subfamily-level taxa. Four genera, Chamaeclea
 Grote, Heminocloa Barnes & Benjamin, Hemioslaria Barnes &
 Benjamin, and Thurberiphaga Dyar are transferred to the tribe Chamaecleini
 Keegan & Wagner New Tribe in Acontiinae. Stiriina is elevated to
 Stiriinae Revised Status, Grotellina is elevated to Grotellinae Revised
 Status, and Annaphilina is elevated to Annaphilini Revised Status. Acopa
 Harvey is transferred to Bryophilinae, Aleptina Dyar is transferred to
 Condicinae, Leucocnemis Hampson and Oxycnemis gracillinea (Grote) are
 transferred to Oncocnemidinae, Nacopa Barnes & Benjamin is
 transferred to Noctuinae, and Narthecophora Smith is transferred to
 Stiriinae. Azenia Grote (and its subtribe Azeniina), Cropia Walker,
 Metaponpneumata Möschler, Sexserrata Barnes & Benjamin, and
 Tristyla Smith are transferred to Noctuidae incertae sedis. Hemigrotella
 Barnes & McDunnough (formerly in subtribe Grotellina) is retained
 in Amphipyrinae.
