Cobubatha dividua
Divided Cobubatha
Cobubatha dividua is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, described by Grote in 1879. It is native to North America and has been recorded from 1,431 iNaturalist observations. The species was originally described under the basionym Eustrotia dividua before being transferred to the genus Cobubatha. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of relatively small noctuids that often exhibit distinctive wing patterns.
Cobubatha numa
Cobubatha numa is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae. It was first described by Druce in 1889, originally placed in the genus Eustrotia. The species is known from North America and has been assigned the Hodges number 9013 for North American moth identification.
Lithacodia undescribed
Lithacodia undescribed refers to a species within the genus Lithacodia (family Noctuidae, subfamily Eustrotiinae) that has not yet been formally described and named in the scientific literature. The genus Lithacodia comprises small moths commonly known as bird-dropping moths due to their cryptic coloration. Undescribed species in this genus are known from various regions, particularly in North America and other parts of the world, where they await taxonomic study and formal description. These moths are typically nocturnal and exhibit the characteristic wing patterns and body morphology of the genus.
Maliattha
Maliattha is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Eustrotiinae, established by Francis Walker in 1863. The genus is characterized by distinctive morphological features including upturned palpi that reach above the vertex of the head, with the second joint bearing long hair below and the third joint prominent. Males possess minutely ciliated antennae. The thorax is roughly scaled but lacks tufts, while the abdomen has strong dorsal tufts and is shorter than the hindwings. The narrow forewings and stalked veins 3 and 4 on the hindwings are additional diagnostic features. Larvae possess four pairs of abdominal prolegs.
Protodeltote muscosula
Large Mossy Glyph, Large Mossy Lithacodia
Protodeltote muscosula is a noctuid moth species found in North America. It was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852 and is commonly known as the Large Mossy Glyph or Large Mossy Lithacodia. The species belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae within the owlet moth family Noctuidae. It has been documented extensively through citizen science observations.
Tripudia
Tripudia is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, subfamily Eustrotiinae. The genus was erected by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1877. It contains approximately 50 described species distributed primarily in the Americas, with most species described by Harrison G. Dyar in the early 20th century. The genus remains taxonomically active, with new species described as recently as 2009.
Tripudia balteata
Belted Tripudia Moth
Tripudia balteata is a noctuid moth species first described by Smith in 1900. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of small to medium-sized owlet moths. The species is distributed across North America and is known to adult collectors and researchers through iNaturalist observations and museum specimens. The specific epithet 'balteata' refers to a belted or banded appearance, likely describing characteristic wing patterning.
Tripudia calusa
Tripudia calusa is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, described by Troubridge in 2020. The species was documented from bycatch collected during mosquito surveillance in the Florida Keys. It belongs to a genus of small noctuid moths found in the Nearctic region. Like other members of Eustrotiinae, it is likely a nocturnal moth with cryptic coloration.
Tripudia damozela
Tripudia damozela is a small noctuid moth described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of generally small, often brightly patterned owlet moths. The species is documented from Central and North America, though specific details about its biology remain limited. Its MONA (Moths of North America) or Hodges number is 9002.2.
Tripudia flavofasciata
Orange-banded Tripudia Moth
Tripudia flavofasciata is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Grote in 1877. It is characterized by distinctive orange-yellow banding on the forewings. The species occurs in North America and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 9009.
Tripudia grapholithoides
Florida Tripudia Moth
Tripudia grapholithoides is a species of owlet moth (family Noctuidae) in the subfamily Eustrotiinae. It was described by Möschler in 1890. The species has a broad distribution spanning the Caribbean, North America, and South America. It is catalogued under Hodges number 9004 in the North American moth numbering system.
Tripudia limbatus
Tripudia limbatus is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by H. Edwards in 1881. It is a small moth belonging to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of generally inconspicuous noctuids. The species is documented across North America, though detailed ecological studies remain limited. It is assigned MONA/Hodges number 9011.
Tripudia luxuriosa
Luxurious Tripudia Moth
Tripudia luxuriosa is a small noctuid moth first described by Smith in 1900. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of generally small, often brightly patterned owlet moths. The species occurs in North America and has been documented in numerous observations, suggesting it is relatively common within its range.
Tripudia munna
Tripudia munna is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Harrison Gray Dyar in 1916. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of generally small noctuids. The species is known from North America and has been assigned the MONA (Moths of North America) or Hodges number 9002.1. Very few observations of this species exist in public databases.
Tripudia rectangula
Rectangular Tripudia Moth
Tripudia rectangula is a small noctuid moth described by Michael G. Pogue in 2009 as part of a revision of the Tripudia quadrifera species complex. It is found across the southeastern and midwestern United States. The species has a wingspan of approximately 14 mm. Larvae feed on Ruellia species.
