Ichneutica steropastis, or the flax notcher moth, is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the country from the Three Kings Islands to Stewart Island as well as in the Chatham Islands. New Zealand flax is a host plant for the larvae of this moth. Other larval host plants for this species include endemic species in the genus Austroderia as well as introduced species in the genus Cortaderia. In particular Austroderia fulvida, A. richardii and C. selloana are all recorded as larval host species of I. steropastis as is Poa foliosa. However the host plant is not a reliable guide to confirm the identification of this species as larvae of both I. arotis and I. blenheimensis also feed on similar hosts including flax species. The larvae are nocturnal, hiding away in the base of the plants and coming out to feed at night. They create a distinctive notch in the leaf when they feed. This damage ensures that the affected flax leaves cannot be used for weaving and so the larvae of this species are regarded as a pest.
