Summary

The Pangraptinae are a subfamily of moths in the family Erebidae, established by Grote in 1882. It includes two known North American species: Pangrapta decoralis and Ledaea perditalis. The subfamily's phylogenetic relationships are not well-established, requiring further study to clarify its classification.

Distribution

North America

Evolution

The Pangraptinae may be significantly revised after further study. Phylogenetic analysis weakly supports the subfamily as a clade, indicating its potential for future reclassification.
