Oligia dubia is a species of moth belonging to the family Noctuidae. [2]
The name of the species derives from the Latin dubia, meaning doubtful, because of the then uncertain taxonomic status of the species. [3]
This rare species is present in Austria, Hungary, Northern Italy, Croatia, Slovakia and Switzerland. [4] [1]
These moths live in grasslands surrounded by mixed deciduous forest and in xerothermic rocky escarpment on limestone at an altitude of about 800–900 m. [5] [6]
Oligia dubia has a wingspan of 22–24 mm. [3] These moths have quite variable dark brown forewings, with a clearer marginal area.
This species is similar to Oligia latruncula , Oligia strigilis and Oligia versicolor and specific identification usually requires close study of the genitalia. [6]
Adults fly from June to August. Caterpillars can be found in grasses until May. This species overwinters as a larva. [3] [7]
