The noctuid genus Supralathosea Barnes & Benjamin (Noctuidae, Oncocnemidinae) is revised to include three species for the United States of America, Supralathosea baboquivariensis Barnes & Benjamin from southeast Arizona, Supralathosea yavapai sp. nov. from central Arizona, and Supralathosea solastella sp. nov. from Texas. Two genera are described for species formerly included in Supralathosea. Infralathosea gen. nov. includes Infralathosea pronuba comb. nov. from Arizona and New Mexico and Infralathosea unicornis sp. nov. from west Texas. Eulathosea gen. nov. contains only Eulathosea obtusa Smith, comb. nov. from Arizona. A key to genera and species is presented and adults and genitalia of all taxa are illustrated. Infralathosea and Eulathosea are assigned to Oncocnemidinae based on molecular evidence.
