Abstract
In Egypt There are 16 subfamilies belonging to family Noctuidae. We have previously dealt with the subfamily: Xyleninae and in this study, we are exposed to revise six subfamilies which are Acronictinae, Heliothinae, Metoponiinae, Noctuinae, Oncocnemidinae, and Plusiinae. These subfamilies contain 27 genera contain 65 species. Subfamily Noctuinae is the most representative subfamily with 33 species under 7 genera, while subfamily Acronictinae is the smallest subfamily containing only two species under one species
