Fore wings are yellow suffused with rufous; an antemedial yellow spot below the cell defined by brown, a small v-shaped brown mark in cell just beyond it with yellow centre, a medial yellow patch from subcostal nervure to vein 1, defined by brown and expanding below the cell; a yellow band beyond the cell from below costa to vein 2, expanding somewhat at the middle, defined on inner side by brown and on outer by the postmedial line which is incurved below costa, excurved between veins 5 and 2, then retracted to lower angle of the cell and sinuous to the inner margin, with series of small yellow spots beyond it; some slight yellow marks on termen; cilia chequered yellow and rufous.

Hind wings are yellow with a small rufous spot in the cell and elliptical discoidal annulus; postmedial line rufous, incurved below costa, bent outwards between veins 5 and 2, then oblique; a curved crenulate subterminal line, the apical area suffused with rufous; a terminal rufous line and a line through the cilia.

This species is distinctive and is unlikely to be confused with other closely related species. It inhabits tussock grasslands, shrubland as well as granite sand plains, all in the alpine zone. Adults are on the wing from December to March and are attracted to light. They have been observed feeding on the flowers of Hebe species. The life history of this species is unknown as are the larval hosts.

<i>Ichneutica chlorodonta</i> Species of moth endemic to New Zealand

Ichneutica chlorodonta, also known as the Green-toothed Owlet, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found throughout the North, South and Stewart Islands and is associated with native forest and shrubland. It can be confused with similar looking species such as I. subcyprea however I. chlorodonta can be distinguished through differences in colouration of its fore and hind wings as well as the length of the male pectinations. The life history of this species is unknown as are the host species of its larvae but adults of I. chlorodonta are on the wing from September to April.
