Poolea gen. nov. is described for two noctuid species from southwestern United States: Poolea grandimacula Barnes & McDunnough, comb. nov., previously in Oxycnemis Grote, and Poolea psaphidoides sp. nov. Poolea is compared to Oxycnemis (Amphipyrinae, Psaphidini, Triocnemidina) and is retained in the same subtribe. Adult moths and male and female genitalia of Poolea species are illustrated along with those of Oxycnemis advena Grote, the genus type species. Pertinent recent taxonomic changes to Amphipyrinae classification are reviewed.
