The 9 species of the Lasionycta leucocycla complex are reviewed and the number of species reduced to 4. Populations of these species are arranged in 18 subspecies, of which 3 are described as new: L. leucocycla magadanensis Kononenko and Lafontaine, from Magadanskaya Oblast', L. staudingeri sajanensis Kononenko, from southern Siberia, and L. quadrilunata yukona Lafontaine, from northwestern Canada. Lasionycta dovrensis (Wocke), of the Palaearctic region, is treated as a subspecies of L. leucocycla. Characters to distinguish the species and subspecies, and their distributions are given. The larva of L. staudingeri is described. © 1986, Entomological Society of Canada. All rights reserved.
