Egira dolosa
Lined Black Aspen Woodling
Egira dolosa is a noctuid moth species described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1880. It occurs across North America, with confirmed records in Canada (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan) and the United States (Vermont). The species belongs to the genus Egira, which includes several species whose larvae feed on woody plants. Adults are nocturnal and attracted to light.
Egira purpurea
Egira purpurea is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1910. The specific epithet 'purpurea' (Latin for 'purple') likely refers to coloration of the adult. As a member of the genus Egira, it belongs to a group of moths whose larvae are commonly known as cutworms or armyworms. The species is native to North America.
Egira simplex
Simple Cutworm Moth
Egira simplex is a species of cutworm or dart moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found in North America. The species was described by Francis Walker in 1865 and is assigned Hodges number 10506 in the North American moth numbering system. Like other members of the genus Egira, it is classified within the tribe Orthosiini of the subfamily Noctuinae.
Orthosia flaviannula
Orthosia flaviannula is a noctuid moth species described by Smith in 1899. It belongs to the genus Orthosia, a group of early spring-flying moths commonly known as Quaker moths. Like other Orthosia species, it likely exhibits a univoltine life cycle with adults emerging in early spring. The species is recorded from North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in available sources.
Orthosia praeses
Orthosia praeses is a noctuid moth species described by Grote in 1879. It belongs to the spring-flying Orthosia genus, a group of early-emerging cutworm moths in North America. The species is documented in entomological records with a MONA/Hodges number of 10480. Like congeners, it likely exhibits univoltine flight activity concentrated in early spring.
Orthosia terminata
Orthosia terminata is a species of cutworm or dart moth in the family Noctuidae. It was described by Smith in 1888. The species is found in North America and is assigned MONA/Hodges number 10484. Like other members of the genus Orthosia, it is likely an early spring-emerging moth with a single generation per year, though specific biological details for this species remain poorly documented.
