Noctuidae
The Noctuidae, commonly known as owlet moths, cutworms or armyworms, are a family (biology), family of moths. Taxonomically, they are considered the most controversial family in the superfamily Noctuoidea because many of the clades are constantly changing, along with the other families of the Noctuoidea. It was considered the largest family in Lepidoptera for a long time, but after regrouping Lymantriinae, Catocalinae and Calpinae within the family Erebidae, the latter holds this title now. Currently, Noctuidae is the second largest family in Noctuoidea, with about 1,089 List of noctuid genera, genera and 11,772 species. This classification is still contingent, as more changes continue to appear between Noctuidae and Erebidae. Description Adult: Most noctuid adults have wings with a variety of shades of browns, grays, and other varied shades and colourations but some subfamilies, such as Acronictinae and Agaristinae, are very colorful, especially those from tropical regions (e.g. ...

Agriopodes
''Agriopodes'' is a doubtfully valid genus of noctuid moths of the family (biology) Acronictinae. The genus was erected by George Hampson in 1908.Pitkin & Jenkins (2014) Species Species remaining here include: * '' Agriopodes jucundella'' Dyar, 1922 * '' Agriopodes teratophora'' (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) = ''A.inscripta'' (Walker, 1858) Most species formerly included in this genus have been moved to ''Acronicta'', for example '' A. fallax'' (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) = ''A.geminata'' (J. B. Smith, 1903). '' Agriopodes tybo'' (Barnes, 1904) is now in the presently-monotypic ''Chloronycta''.Schmidt, B. C., et al. (2014).
