Syllepte seminigralis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896. It is found in Meghalaya, India. [1]

Their wingspan is about 36 mm. Their forewings are greyish fuscous, dusted with dark fuscous. Their first line is found near the base. It is dark fuscous, angled in the middle, the lower arm vertical. The orbicular stigma is round and the renitorm[ check spelling ] lunate and obliquely curved. Both are dark edged, with a centre of the ground colour. The second line is distinct, blackish, dentate and starts at the costa at about two-thirds. It is vertical for its first third, vertical but slightly nearer the hind margin in the middle and slightly oblique, without denticulations and strongly marked above the inner margin. There is a row of black dashes along the hind margin, separated by pale veins. From the inner margin near base, a dark suffusion extends to the hind margin below the apex, embracing the whole outer half of the wing except for the paler edging of the second line. The hindwings have a blackish cell spot. The second and marginal lines are as in forewings. [2]

This species has been recorded that some of the larval hosts of this species include Poa cita, Dactylis glomerata and it has been reared on Plantago lanceolata. The larva is undescribed but pupae have been found in a pine plantation in soil under weeds. Adults of this species are on the wing from October to March. The adult moths are variable in appearance but the diagnostic feature is the pale ochreous to white colouring between the basal streak and the costa which contrasts with the ground colour of the forewing.

<i>Ichneutica paracausta</i> Species of moth

Ichneutica paracausta is a moth of the family Noctuidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand. It is found locally in the central North Island, is widespread in the South Island and can also be found in Stewart Island. I. paracausta is variable in colour, but as it has a distinctive black streak on its forewing as well as a wing pattern that is characteristic, I. paracausta is unlikely to be confused with other species. It is present on the North Island volcanic plateau as well as Little Bush Reserve in Hawkes Bay in the North Island as well as in tussock grassland, alpine and subalpine shrubland and in alpine forest. Larvae have been recorded as feeding on grasses, a pupa has been found in a cocoon under the bark of a tree and adult moths are on the wing from October to January.
