Flax brevipennis is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Michael Fibiger in 2011. It is found in Indonesia (western Sumatra).
The wingspan is 10–11 mm.
Noctuoidea is the superfamily of noctuid or "owlet" moths, and has more than 70,000 described species, the largest number of any Lepidopteran superfamily. Its classification has not yet reached a satisfactory or stable state. Since the end of the 20th century, increasing availability of molecular phylogenetic data for this hugely successful radiation has led to several competing proposals for a taxonomic arrangement that correctly represents the relationships between the major lineages.
