The Spragueia of the Antilles and Two New Species (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Acontiinae)

The Spragueia fauna for the Antilles is examined. Notes and observations of the morphology of Spragueia genitalia are provided. Additional context on Spragueia species outside of the Islands are also provided where relevant, and a general discussion on the taxonomic characters of Spragueia are presented. Five previously recognized species of Spragueia; S. dama, S. perstructana, S. apicalis, S. pantherula, and S. margana from the Antilles are redescribed and illustrated. One taxon is revised from synonymy and two new species are recognized as part of the fauna of the Antilles: S. ochracea stat. rev., is proposed and two new endemic species are described from the Dominican Republic: Spragueia stehri, n. sp., and Spragueia rawlinsi, n. sp.
