Acronicta sperata
Hopeful Dagger Moth, Hopeful Dagger
Acronicta sperata, commonly known as the Hopeful Dagger Moth, is a North American noctuid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873. Adults have a wingspan of 30–35 mm and are active from May to June. The larvae feed on Populus (poplar) and Alnus (alder) species. Two subspecies are recognized: A. s. sperata and A. s. speratina.
Annaphila danistica
Annaphila danistica is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Grote in 1873. It is native to North America and belongs to the tribe Annaphilini within the subfamily Stiriinae. The species is part of a genus known for day-flying behavior, though specific behavioral observations for A. danistica itself are not well documented. Its MONA/Hodges number is 9850.
Annaphila diva
white annaphila
Annaphila diva is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, commonly known as the white annaphila. It is found in North America and is distinguished by striking black-and-white wing coloration. The species is notable for being a day-flying moth, an uncommon trait among Noctuidae. Larvae feed on miner's lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), a host plant relationship that has been documented. The species was first described by Grote in 1873 and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 9869.
Apamea lintneri
sand wainscot moth, Sand Wainscot
Apamea lintneri, commonly known as the sand wainscot moth, is a noctuid moth native to North America. First described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873, this species is listed as a species of special concern in Connecticut. As a member of the genus Apamea, it belongs to a group of cutworm moths known for being difficult to identify due to individual variation and overlapping appearances with congeners.
Argillophora furcilla
Forked Halter Moth
Argillophora furcilla is a noctuid moth species in the subfamily Acontiinae, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873. The species is known by the common name Forked Halter Moth. It occurs in North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in available sources. The genus Argillophora is small and not well studied, with limited published information on life history traits.
Axenus arvalis
Axenus arvalis is the sole species in the monotypic genus Axenus, a noctuid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873. The species is endemic to the Pacific Northwest region of North America, with confirmed records from California and Oregon. Its narrow geographic range and monotypic status make it a distinctive element of the regional noctuid fauna.
Condylolomia participialis
Drab Condylolomia Moth
Condylolomia participialis is a species of snout moth in the family Pyralidae, described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873. It is commonly known as the Drab Condylolomia Moth. The species belongs to the subfamily Chrysauginae, a group of pyralid moths often associated with diverse larval feeding habits. It has been documented across parts of the United States, with records from Vermont and other regions. The genus Condylolomia was established by the same author in the same publication year.
Tesagrotis atrifrons
cutworm moth, dart moth
Tesagrotis atrifrons is a species of cutworm or dart moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1873. It is native to North America. The species is assigned MONA/Hodges number 10977. Little specific ecological information has been published for this species.
Ufeus
Ufeus is a genus of moths in the family Noctuidae, established by Grote in 1873. It represents the sole genus of the monotypic subfamily Ufeinae. The genus contains six recognized species distributed in North America. Species include Ufeus plicatus, Ufeus satyricus, Ufeus faunus, Ufeus hulstii, Ufeus carnea, and the recently described Ufeus felsensteini (2013).
