PRABAKARAN Entomology Research Institute Loyola College, Chennai-600034 *Corresponding author E-mail: entolc@hotmail.com INTRODUCIlON The family Noctuidae commonly known as Owlet moths is one of the largest families in the order Lepidoptera which comprises more than 35,000 known species placed in 29 sub-families and 4,200 genera. The noctuid moths can be easily recognized from other lepidopterans by 'their prominent eyes and comparatively robust structure. The noctuids mostly have drab forewings, although some have brightly coloured hind wings. The overwhelming majority of nnctuids fly at night and is almost invariably strongly attracted to light. Noctuid are well represented in all important zoogeographic regions and occur in lower 1110ntane to upper montane, sandy ocean beaches, dunes. river basins deserts and a wide variety of hahitats. Noctuids are a prominent group of terrestrial insect fauna and food web, including innumerable ecological and economically important species. Several species have larvae that live in the soil and agricultural or horticultural pests. Majority of species will prove to be polyphagous but restricted to herbaceous vegetation in distributed habitats in the tropics, a category which includes agricultural crops. Noctuidae reported so far from India (before partition) are accommodated under 218 genera and 1431 species (Hampson, 1894-95; Moore, 1879-88~ Walker, 1854-66; Holloway, 1985, 1989; Park, 2001). The checklist of the genera and species of Noctuidae from India presented here, lists a total of 1374 species under 351 genera. List of Sub-families: 5. AMPHIPYRINAE 1. NOCTUINAE 6. HERMINllNAE 2.

Sun: India Sir George Hampson has reported 1431 species of noctuid moths under 10 sub-families in his Fauna of British India series, moth's volumes II and III (1894). This record is century-old arrangement. At present the number of subfamilies has been raised to 29. We are reporting here the checklist of Indian noctuids, which is an outcome of our studies conducted for the past 5 years. According to our understanding based on available literature, we have arranged the genus and species of noctuids. We have recorded 351 genera and 1374 species. Among the 351 genera, the genus Hypena includes more number of species (71 species). The genera Agrotis, Ophiusa, Polydesma and Metachrostis also accommodate higher number of species. In our expedition ofnilgiris biosphere 160 species have been described and among them 20 were recorded for the first time for the Western Ghats (Nilgiris Biosphere and Kodaikanal) Tamil Nadu part; the species are: Laceronoctilio Guenee, 1852., Spirama helicina Hampson, 1984., Polydesma boarmoides Guenee, 1852 Eudocima homanea HUbner, [1823]., Eudocima sikhimensis Butler, 1895., Doryodes grandipennis Barnes & Mc Dunnough, 1918., Targalla atripars Hampson, 1912., Eutelia adulatricoides Mell,1943., Lophotera squammigera Guenee, 1852., Lophotera squammilinea Guenee, 1852., Odontodes seranensis Guenee, 1852., Stictoptera cucullioides Guenee, 1852., Stictoptera signifera Walker, 1857., Aegilia su'11dascribens Holloway, 1976., Aegilia describens Walker, 1858., Actinotia polydon Clerk, 1759., Chasmina candida Walker, 1865., Pandesma quanavadi Guenee, 1852., Parallelia calefaciens Walker, 1858., and Pindara illibata (Fabricius, 1775)., and Lygephila maxima Bremer, 1861. Ericeia eriophora (Guenee, 1852)., and Sasunaga leucorina Hampson, 1894 were recorded for the first time in India.
