Euxoa Hübner, [1821] 1816

Noctua decora  [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775

= Mimetes Hübner, [1821] 1816: 210 (TS: Noctua nebulosa Hübner, [1808]: pl. 86). Mimetes Hübner is a junior homonym of Mimetes Eschscholtz, 1818: 467 (Coleoptera). There is no objective replacement name, but N. nebulosa is a junior subjective synonym of Noctua decora [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, the type species of Euxoa Hübner, [1821]. The latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name).
= Metaxyja Hübner, [1821] 1816: 223 (TS: Phalaena vitta Esper, 1789: pl. 143)
= Exarnis Hübner, [1821] 1816: 225 (TS: Noctua ruris Hübner, [1809]: Pl. 89)
= Brotis Hübner, [1821] 1816: 226 (TS: Noctua fumosa [Denis & Schifiermüller], 1775: 81)
= Telmia Hübner, [1821] 1816: 228 (TS: Noctua sagitta Hübner, [1813]: pl. 130)
= Carneades Grote, 1883: 4 (TS: Carneades moerens Grote, 1883: 4). Carneades Grote is a junior homonym of Carneades Bates, 1869: 387 (Coleoptera). The objective replacement name is Paragrotis Dyar, 1902.
= Paragrotis Dyar, 1902: 140 (TS: Carneades moerens Grote, 1883: 4). Paragrotis was proposed as the objective replacement name for Carneades Grote, 1883; but Dyar attributed Paragrotis to F. C. Pratt, and this has been followed by Neave (1940): 570.
= Mimetis; Hampson, 1903: 153 (An incorrect subsequent spelling)
= Metaxyia; Hampson, 1903: 153 (An incorrect subsequent spelling)
= Prosagrotis; Warren, in Seitz, 1911: 251 (An incorrect subsequent spelling)

Orosagrotis Hampson, 1903

Agrotis montana Morrison, 1875

= Menada Kozhanchikov, 1937: 593, 651 (TS: Agrotis nomas Erschov, in Fedchenko, 1874: 38)
= Orosagrotis Hampson was considered by the Int. Commn zool. Nom., 1972, Opinion 983: 113, and placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology: Name No. 1962, with type species Agrotis montana Morrison, by original designation. Hampson, on page 135, actually designated Agrotiphila rigida Smith, 1891: 134, and then dealt with rigida on page 136. In his Addenda on page 658, Hampson stated that Agrotis montana should be inserted on page 136 as the senior synonym of rigida) he omitted, however, except by implication, to change his type designation on page 135 (Nye 1975).
