Abstract

The noctuid genus Supralathosea Barnes & Benjamin (Noctuidae, Oncocnemidinae) is revised to include three species for the United States of America, Supralathosea baboquivariensis Barnes & Benjamin from southeast Arizona, Supralathosea yavapaisp. nov. from central Arizona, and Supralathosea solastellasp. nov. from Texas. Two genera are described for species formerly included in Supralathosea. Infralathoseagen. nov. includes Infralathosea pronubacomb. nov. from Arizona and New Mexico and Infralathosea unicornissp. nov. from west Texas. Eulathoseagen. nov. contains only Eulathosea obtusa Smith, comb. nov. from Arizona. A key to genera and species is presented and adults and genitalia of all taxa are illustrated. Infralathosea and Eulathosea are assigned to Oncocnemidinae based on molecular evidence.
