Chloridea is a genus of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are at least three described species in Chloridea.[1][2]
The species of Chloridea were formerly members of the genus Heliothis, but were moved to Chloridea when it was reinstated as valid genus as a result of research published in 2013.[2][3]
Species
These species belong to the genus Chloridea:[2]
- Chloridea subflexa (Guenée, 1852) (subflexus straw moth)
- Chloridea tergemina (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874)
- Chloridea virescens (Fabricius, 1777) (tobacco budworm moth)
