Catocalinae, Hadeninae, Chloephorinae and Noctuinae were identified with the help of literature and confirmed by comparison. All these species have been taxonomically treated in the present research work as per latest techniques used in Lepidopterology. The illustrations of wing venation were drawn with the help of an image processing unit. The external male and female genitalic attributes of all the identified species have been studied in detail and incorporated in their detailed diagnosis.
