Noctuites

Noctuites is a genus of extinct moths in the Noctuoidea superfamily. This genus was originally designated to accommodate noctuids of uncertain association. Most noctuoid fossils are incomplete, making them hard to place in a modern phylogeny of Noctuoidea. For this reason the genus has not been assigned to a family.
