Note:
Just recently the large family Noctuidae has been revised by DNA analysis
at higher taxonomic level (Zahiri et al, 2010; 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 have
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.
