Scientific classification

Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Superfamily: Noctuoidea
Family: Erebidae
Subfamily: Eulepidotinae
Grote, 1895

The Eulepidotinae are a subfamily of moths in the Erebidae family. Adult males in the subfamily have midtibial tufts of hairs. Adult females have the ostial opening located between the seventh and eighth abdominal sternites instead of located anteriorly on the seventh sternite.

Phylogenetic analysis has determined that the Eulepidtinae are closely related to the Hypocalinae, and a clade of these two subfamilies is closely related to the Calpinae. The classification of genera into tribes within the Eulepidotinae has not been resolved.
