Twenty-five species of Erebidae are documented from Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) from the following subfamilies: Aventiinae (1 species), Boletobiinae (7 species), Eublemminae (1 species), Pangraptinae (2 species), Phytometrinae (6 species), and Scolecocampinae (8 species). Each species is documented with an adult image, description/diagnosis, flight period, park distribution, abundance, elevational range, general distribution, and larval hosts. The most common (155 specimens) and widespread (40 localities) species was Pangrapta decoralis Hübner. Scolecocampa liburna (Geyer) is the next most common (87 specimens) and widespread (30 localities).
