The Acontiinae and Eustrotiinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) of Great Smoky Mountains National Park

A comprehensive survey of the moth subfamilies Acontiinae and Eustrotiinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park reveals a total of 14 species, with detailed documentation for each. Species identification includes adult images, descriptions, flight periods, park distribution, abundance, elevational range, general distribution, and larval hosts. Using species accumulation curves and estimators (Chao 1, ACE, Chao 2, ICE), the study suggests that the observed species likely represent the full diversity of these subfamilies within the park, indicating minimal likelihood of additional undiscovered species.
