Lygephila fereidun is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Wiltshire in 1961. [1] [ failed verification ] It is found in the Elburz Mountains of northern Iran.
The colour of the adults is pale straw and the wing pattern is close to Lygephila lusoria glycyrrhizae . Based on the currently known characters, L. fereidun is possibly an aberrant specimen of Lygephila pallida . [2]
