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! For the subfamily
Pantheinae it resulted in a rearrangement of genera in Eucocytiinae, Pantheinae
s.s. and Dyopsinae. 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.
