= Scotia Hübner, [1821] 1816: 226 (TS: Noctua cinerea [Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775: 80
= Agronoma Hübner, [1821] 1816: 227 (TS: Noctua valligera [Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775: 80)
= Georyx Hübner, [1821] 1816: 227 (TS: Noctua segetum [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775: 81)
= Noctua Boisduval, 1828: 63 (TS: Phalaena exclamationis Linnaeus, 1758: 515). Noctua Boisduval is a junior homonym of Noctua Linnaeus, 1758. There is no objective replacement name, but P. exclamationis is congeneric with Noctua segetum [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, the type species of Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816. The latter is therefore available for use as the subjective replacement name.
= Psammophila Stephens, 1850: 72 (TS: Noctua ripae Hübner, [1823]: pl. 151). Psammophila Stephens is a junior homonym of Psammophila Brown, 1827: pl. 12 (Mollusca). There is no objective replacement name but N. ripae is congeneric wdth Noctua segetum [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, the type species of Agrotis Ochsenheimer, 1816. The latter is therefore available for use as the subjective replacement name.
