The subfamilies of the Tuft moths (Lepidoptera: Nolidae) of Papua Indonesia
Note:
Just recently the large family Noctuidae has been revised by DNA analysis at
higher taxonomic level (Zahiri et al, 2010) 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.
