Noctuoidea is the superfamily of noctuid (Latin "night owl") or "owlet" moths, and has the largest number of species described for any Lepidopteran superfamily. Its classification has not yet reached a satisfactory or stable state. See Kitching and Rawlins (1999) for a broad review, and this reference is the source of the classification used here. The most recent classifications include only four families in the superfamily; Noctuidae, Oenosandridae, Doidae, and Notodontidae. The remaining four families listed here are presently all considered subfamilies within Noctuidae.

Systematics

This follows Lafontaine & Fibiger (2006), with the addition of Thiacidinae Hacker & Zilli, 2007. Note that the placement of Arctiidae, Lymantriidae and Nolidae as subfamilies of Noctuidae is not widely accepted yet.
