Lepidoptera Erebidae Hypenodinae Micronoctuini

Abstract

The Micronoctuidae was erected as a family of Noctuoidea by Fibiger (in Fibiger & Lafontaine 2005). Later, in a series of monographs Fibiger (2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011) revised Asian taxa of Micronoctuidae and developed the taxonomic structure of the family with seven subfamilies, 54 genera, and 306 species. However, the status of the Micronoctuidae has changed in recent years, with the current placement being Micronoctuini as a tribe of the subfamily Hypenodinae (Zahiri et al. 2011a, 2001b; Holloway 2011) in the family Erebidae (Noctuoidea).
