Bastilla arctotaenia
Bastilla arctotaenia (Guenée, 1852), formerly Dysgonia arctotaenia (syn. Parallelia arctotaenia). Noctuidae, Catocalinae, Ophiusini. This brown moth looks like a small version of Bastilla crameri, but lacks a distinctive spot at the hindwing tornus, and has the distal border of the trapezoid costal mark notched rather than straight. It is found from Japan, Korea and the Indo-Australian tropics east to New Guinea and Queensland. It has also been recorded in Vanuatu and Fiji.
Backyard.
