Abstract

This is the last paper on the revision of Noctuidae in Egypt, we revised 11 subfamilies (from total 16 subfamilies). In this study, we are exposed to revise the last five subfamilies which are Bryophilinae, Condicinae, Cuculliinae, Eriopinae, and Eustrotiinae. These subfamilies contain 40 species under 10 genera. Subfamily Eustrotiinae Grote, 1882 is the largest subfamily (in this study) with 11 species and 3 genera, followed by Subfamily Bryophilinae Guenée, 1852 with 11 species under one genera while Subfamily Eriopinae Herrich-Schäffer, [1851] is the smallest subfamily containing two species under one genus.
        We added three Annexes, one for the recent situation of Family Noctuidae; 2nd a list of noctuid types in Egypt and the 3rd is the complete recent list of family Noctuidae in Egypt.
