This moth sub-category for the superfamily Noctuoidea contains the large families Noctuidae and Erebidae as well the smaller Euteliidae, Nolidae, Notodontidae and Oenosandridae. The Arctiinae also belong to this superfamily, but are distinctive and well known so are given their own moth sub-category

I note that most of the ID'd sightings of Heliocheilus moribunda on iNaturaliast lack the forewing submarginal arc of dots and/or a dark coloured thorax. For example, I suggest Sighting 4373480 may have been misidentified and is in fact H. aleurota?

I think the forewing pattern is consistent with that of several Nola species.

Again, to me, the overall grey colour and the strongly curved fine line joining at the costa suggests D. gerula.
