Acronicta Ochsenheimer, 1816 is a large genus of Noctuidae, with worldwide distribution mainly in the temperate zone. The genus includes more than 150 described species and is subdivided into nine subgenera (Sugi 1979; Fibiger et al. 2009; Kononenko 2003, 2010; Han & Kononenko 2010): Subacronicta Kozhanchikov, 1950, Jocheaera Hübner, [1820], Triaen...

... It was not brought into Acronictinae as a genus until later Japanese publications (Inoue et al. 1982). Plataplecta was eventually brought back to subgenus status (Han and Kononenko 2010;Volynkin et al. 2015), despite having been earlier synonymized with Acronicta by Poole (Poole , 1996. While the adult morphology appears to be acronictine, it has not yet been sampled for DNA analysis. ...
... Wagner's et al.'s (2011) latest guide, Owlet Caterpillars of Eastern North America, likewise had an inclusive Acronicta, though his choice to not include subgeneric names in his field guides is not indicative of their validity The Moths of Thailand (Kononenko and Pinratana 2013) included two subgenera for their Acronicta species, Hyboma and Viminia. A worldwide list of Acronicta subgenera was offered by Volynkin et al. (2015) in their assessment of the genus; they recognized 9 European and Asian subgenerathe effort appeared to be primarily based on Kononenko's 2003 key to Russian insects. ...
Moths and caterpillars of the noctuid genus Acronicta Oschenheimer, 1816, widely known as dagger moths, have captured the imagination of taxonomists for centuries. Morphologically enigmatic adults and highly variable larvae prompted A. R. Grote to proclaim, "There would seem to be no genus which offers a more interesting field to the biologist for exploration," (1895). Without known synapomorphies for Acronicta, or the subfamily Acronictinae, their circumscriptions have changed over time. This dissertation delves into the taxonomic history of these taxa, setting the stage for a worldwide phylogenetic analysis of Acronictinae. The diversity of larval forms is considered in a tri-trophic framework, quantifying bottom up (host plant) and top down (predator) effects through measures of diet breadth, morphology, and behavior, all in a phylogenetic context. Adult courtship structures, present in some acronictine species, are scored across the family Noctuidae, to aid in the study of the evolution of complex morphological traits.
... Su nombre deriva del griego y hace referencia a su hábito nocturno, «Acro»: en la cumbre y «nicta»: noche. Este género cuenta con alrededor de 150 especies presentes en casi todo el planeta pero cuya mayor diversidad se encuentra en las regiones templadas, y algunas pocas están presentes en las regiones cálidas (Volynkin et al, 2015). Las orugas se caracterizan por tener mechones de pelos coloridos. ...

The present paper is the fourth in a series of articles on the genus Acronicta Ochsenheimer (Volynkin et al. 2015; Volynkin 2015; Volynkin et al. 2016). In here, we revive A. metaxantha (Hampson 1909) stat. n., which was synonymized with A. digna (Butler, 1881) by Han & Kononenko (2010) to the species level, designate the neotype for Acronycta agnata Draudt, 1937 and revise the synonymy of A. digna and A. agnata.
The present paper is the third in a series of articles on the genus Acronicta Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Volynkin et al. 2015; Volynkin 2015). Here we focus on the taxonomy of the Acronicta lutea species group, designating the lectotype of Acronicta lutea (Bremer & Grey, 1852), revising synonym status of Acronycta metaxantha funesta Draudt, 1950 and Pharetra leucoptera Butler, 1881, transferring Acronicta nigricans (Leech, 1900) to the subgenus Viminia Chapman, 1890 and introducing the new synonymy A. nigricans = Acronicta regifica Draudt, 1937 syn. n.
