Tyta is a genus of noctuid ('owlet') moths that was erected by Gustaf Johan Billberg in 1820. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Tyta luctuosa, commonly known as four-spotted moth and field bindweed moth. The species was first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.
