Grotellinae is a subfamily of owlet moths in the family Noctuidae. There are about 5 genera and more than 20 described species in Grotellinae. They are found primarily in North and Central America, and are common in the southwestern United States.
As a result of phylogenetic research published in 2019, the subfamily Grotellinae was established when Grotellina, a subtribe of Stiriini, was elevated in rank to subfamily.
Genera These five genera belong to the subfamily Grotellinae: Grotella Harvey, 1875 Grotellaforma Barnes & Benjamin, 1922 Hemigrotella Barnes & McDunnough, 1918 Neogrotella Barnes & Benjamin, 1922 Podagra Smith, 1902
