Lacinipolia teligera is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found from the Great Plains of central Colorado and eastern Kansas southward to central Texas.

Adults are similar to Lacinipolia sareta , but are slightly larger with a broader forewing and better-defined, crisper forewing maculation. However, reliable identification should be based on the genitalic structure. [1]
