Noctuidae 
Genus PLEONECTYPTERA Grote 
This is a genus of moderate size, which by some writers has 
heretofore been placed among the Pyralidce , though it is 
undoubtedly correctly located among the Noctuidce. Eight 
species are credited to our fauna in the latest catalogue.

Central and South America.
