Noctuoid moths (except Arctiinae)


This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae.  The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

Ah: P. rubropicta has a cusped pale submarginal arc like this, but the orbicular and reniform are all wrong.

N. expulsa has a marginal arc of black daggers on the forewing, which this specimen does not have.
None of the Noctuidae illustrated on LBH have the sharp cusp on the pale submarginal double band on the forewing like this specimen appears to have. Is it a visual artifact from overlapping wings ?

Yes, I think you are correct. A first sighting of this species on NatureMapr and NatureMapr's NSW North Coast region.

I don't see the shape of the renifotm marks on the forewing or the outer margins matching N. expulsa.
