TL;DR: Members of the genus Copitarsia Hampson (Noctuidae) are widespread pests of many agricultural commodities in Central and South America but misidentification has affected life history studies, risk assessments, and biological control of these pest species.
Abstract: Members of the genus Copitarsia Hampson (Noctuidae) are widespread pests of many agricultural commodities in Central and South America. Two species, Copitarsia incommoda (Walker) and Copitarsia turbata (Herrich-Schaffer), are of particular concern. This misidentification has affected life history studies, risk assessments, and biological control of these pest species. This article redescribes these species and distinguishes them from each other by using adult morphology. C. turbata is placed as a NEW SYNONYM of Copitarsia decolora (Guenee), Copitarsia margaritella (Dognin) is placed as a junior synonym of C. decolora (REVISED SYNONYM), and Copitarsia hampsoni (Brethes) is designated as a NEW SYNONYM of C. incommoda.

TL;DR: In this article, a catalogue of the species of Copitarsia Hampson, including twenty-one species from North to South America, is presented, and new combinations as well as synonyms for some species are proposed.
Abstract: Casilla 4040 correo 3, Concepcion, Chile. E-mail: tolivare@udec.clSUMMARYThe present work is a catalogue of the species of Copitarsia Hampson, including twenty-one species from North toSouth America. Two species group are separated taxonomically. They are the species group turbata and the speciesgroup incommoda. Also new combinations as well as synonyms for some species are proposed. The genitalia malemorphological characters of Copitarsia turbata (Herrich-Schaeffer) y Copitarsia incommoda (Walker) are illustrated.K

TL;DR: The egg, first and last instars, and adult of Copitarsia corruda, n.
Abstract: The egg, first and last instars, and adult of Copitarsia corruda, n. sp. from Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru are described and illustrated. Larval host plant genera include Asparagus (Liliaceae) (Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador), Iris (Iridaceae) (Ecuador), Ammi (Apiaceae) (Ecuador), Lysimachia (Primulaceae) (Colombia), Callistephus (Asteraceae) (Colombia), and Aster (Asteraceae) (Colombia). The larva of Copitarsia decolora (Guenee) is described and illustrated. In addition to genitalic and larval characters, mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (COI) was analyzed to differentiate C. corruda from Copitarsia decolora (Guenee), and to examine geographic and host plant differences between the two species.
