Genus: Litoprosopus
Grote, 1869

Litoprosopus is a genus of moths formerly of the family Noctuidae. Moths formerly of the family Noctuidae are now mostly classified in the family Erebidae, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae.[1] This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme (e.g.[2]).
