Aedia

Aedia is a genus of noctuid moths first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.[1] The placement in a subfamily is subject to controversy, with various authors placing the genus in Acontiinae, Aediinae, Ophiderinae, Catocalinae or Acronictinae.[2] If it is placed in Catocalinae, it is assigned to its own subtribe, Aediina and if placed in Acontiinae, it is assigned to its own tribe Aediini.

For the synonym of the moth in the family Gelechioidea, see Ethmia.
