Amphipyra glabella
Grey Amphipyra, Smooth Amphipyra
Amphipyra glabella is a noctuid moth found across eastern and central North America. Adults are active from August to September with one generation per year.

Annaphila lithosina is a day-flying moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Henry Edwards in 1875. It belongs to the Lithosina-casta species complex within the genus Annaphila, a group of small, attractive moths that are active during daylight hours rather than at night. The species is part of the subfamily Amphipyrinae and tribe Annaphilini. Limited published life history studies exist for this species.
Nocloa nanata
Chihuahuan Nocloa
Nocloa nanata is a moth species in the family Noctuidae, described by Neumoegen in 1884. It is endemic to the Chihuahuan Desert region of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The species is known by the common name Chihuahuan Nocloa, reflecting its restricted geographic association with this arid ecosystem. It belongs to the tribe Psaphidini within the subfamily Amphipyrinae, a group of owlet moths adapted to arid and semi-arid environments.
Nocloa rivulosa
Rivulet Nocloa
Nocloa rivulosa is a noctuid moth described by Smith in 1906. The common name "Rivulet Nocloa" refers to the wavy, stream-like patterning on the forewings. It belongs to the subfamily Amphipyrinae and tribe Psaphidini within the owlet moth family. The species is documented across North America with over 120 iNaturalist observations.
Oxycnemis
Oxycnemis is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, established by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1882. The genus currently contains eight recognized species distributed in North America. A taxonomic revision by Troubridge (2008) realigned the genus within the tribe Psaphidini of the subfamily Amphipyrinae. Formerly placed species have been reassigned to other genera, such as Sympistis.
