Revision of the North American genus Supralathosea Barnes & Benjamin (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Oncocnemidinae) with description of two genera and three species
The noctuid genus <i>Supralathosea</i> Barnes & Benjamin (Noctuidae, Oncocnemidinae) is revised to include three species for the United States of America, <i>Supralathoseababoquivariensis</i> Barnes & Benjamin from southeast Arizona, <i>Supralathoseayavapai</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> from central Arizona, and <i>Supralathoseasolastella</i> <b>sp. nov</b>. from Texas. Two genera are described for species formerly included in <i>Supralathosea</i>. <i>Infralathosea</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> includes <i>Infralathoseapronuba</i> <b>comb. nov.</b> from Arizona and New Mexico and <i>Infralathoseaunicornis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> from west Texas. <i>Eulathosea</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> contains only <i>Eulathoseaobtusa</i> Smith, <b>comb. nov.</b> from Arizona. A key to genera and species is presented and adults and genitalia of all taxa are illustrated. <i>Infralathosea</i> and <i>Eulathosea</i> are assigned to Oncocnemidinae based on molecular evidence.
