Subfamily Oncocnemidinae

Catabenoides vitrina (Walker, 1857) complex

This generic placement follows R.W. Poole (in Becker and Miller 2002). It was identified by comparison with the NHMUK series. However, at that time this series would have represented what Becker and Miller (2002) refer to as the C. vitrinus [sic] complex, commenting that the true C. vitrina does not occur in the Lesser Antilles. No Trinidad records.

Speyside, MVL: ♂ 14–17 May 1982 (M.J.W. Cock) [MJWC]

Neogalea sunia (Guenée, 1852)

This species was known as N. esula (Druce) , but N. sunia is the senior name; the species incorrectly known as Spodoptera sunia was misidentified and is now referred to S. albula (Walker) (Poole 1989) . Identified by comparison with the NHMUK series.
