Naenia Haplotype Ph. Noctua typica Linn. 
1829, Stephens, 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. II, 165. 
The genus falls to Phalaena Linn, and Noctua Linn, and according to genitalia is scarcely 
Agrotid, a view shared by Pierce (Gen. Brit. Noct. 78). For a comprehensive 
review of the two Linnaean genera, refer to Barnes and Benjamin’s article in 
Contributions Nat. Hist. Lep. N. Am. V (2), 53.

Pachnobia Logotype Noctua tecta Hbn. (carnea Auct.).

hyperborea Dalm., carnica Herr, and glacialis H. S. 
1874, Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. N. Sci. II, 23. Pseudotype, rubricosa Schiff., a species 
not included by Guen^e. 
1895, Grote, List. N. Am. Eupterot., etc., 19. Cites carnea as type, evidently in the 
Guen<5e sense, no authorship being given. 
1903, Hampson, Cat. Lep. Phal. B. M. IV, 467. Cites tecta as type. 
Tecta Hbn. was, for a long time, generally considered to be synonymous with cornea 
Thun, and only comparatively recently has this synonymy been changed. 
Guende and Grote certainly followed the prevailing idea of the time and their 
carnea would, therefore, be equivalent to Hampson’s tecta.
