The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are dark brown glossed with brilliant purple. There is a wedge-shaped golden-yellow patch in the cell from the base to near the extremity, as well as a broad oblique golden-yellow postmedial band from just below the costa to the submedian fold near the termen, and a golden-yellow streak on the inner margin from the base to beyond the middle. The hindwings are golden yellow, the inner area from near the base and the terminal area dark brown glossed with brilliant purple, the extremity of the yellow area rounded so that the dark area expands widely towards the costa and tornus.

Austramathes purpurea is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the North and South Islands but has yet to be recorded at Stewart Island. It inhabits native forest. This species might possibly be confused with A. pessota, however this latter species does not have the purple hue to the forewings. The larvae of A. purpurea feed primarily on māhoe but have been recorded as feeding on, and have been reared on, narrow-leaved māhoe. The larvae pupate in a silken cocoon on moss covered ground. Adults can be found on the wing during the months of March to January but mainly occur during New Zealand's late autumn, winter, and spring. Light trapping may not be the most efficient technique for collecting this species.
Ichneutica chlorodonta, also known as the Green-toothed Owlet, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found throughout the North, South and Stewart Islands and is associated with native forest and shrubland. It can be confused with similar looking species such as I. subcyprea however I. chlorodonta can be distinguished through differences in colouration of its fore and hind wings as well as the length of the male pectinations. The life history of this species is unknown as are the host species of its larvae but adults of I. chlorodonta are on the wing from September to April.
