The subfamilies of the Euteliidae (Lepidoptera) of Papua Indonesia
by Rob de Vos
Note:
Just recently the large family Noctuidae has been revised by DNA analysis at
higher taxonomic level (Zahiri et al, 2010, 2011 & 2013) which resulted
in a new arrangement of the traditional subfamilies within Noctuidae, Erebidae,
Euteliidae and Nolidae. Former families as Lymantriidae and Arctiidae are now
placed as subfamilies in the Erebidae! Although the DNA research at these taxa
has not reached the end yet it has become clear that the new classification
shows a more correct arrangement than the traditional one does. We follow the
latest results.
