Abstract
The genus Spodoptera is represented in Egypt by four species, which are: S. cilium, S. exigua, S. frugiperda, and S. littoralis.A taxonomic account on these species is presented to assist in their identification. Diagnostic characters of the genus and description of the species together with an illustrated key based on male and female genitalia of the species are given.
