Diphtherinae is a monotypic subfamily of moths in the family Nolidae erected by Michael Fibiger and J. Donald Lafontaine in 2005.[1] Its only genus, Diphthera, was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1809.[2][3][4][5] The genus was moved from Noctuidae in 2013 after the phylogenetic analysis of Reza Zahiri et al. (2013).[6]
