The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are sericeous (silky) cream colour, irrorated (speckled) with brown and black scales. The veins are pale sandy brownish and there are two arched indistinct brown streaks towards the apex, the first oblique, the second parallel to the outer margin. There is a black spot just before the middle of the cell, and a second, rather larger, at the inferior angle of the cell. There is also a marginal series of minute black dots. The hindwings are silvery pale grey, with two slightly darker spots placed obliquely at the end of the cell. There is also a marginal series of minute black dots. [2]

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

Ichneutica morosa is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in the southern parts of the North Island and throughout the South Island. I. morosa is common in the eastern parts of both those islands and also in Fiordland. I. morosa can be found from altitudes ranging from lowlands to the alpine zone. I. morosa is absent from the range of its closely related species I. mustulenta, that is from the northern North Island. The larvae of I. morosa are known to feed on Poa astonii and also on other Poa species including introduced species. As well as its standard form the adult moths have a grey colour morph with the head and thorax being a grey and mottled brown, and the forewing being a pale greyish ochreous to a deep brown, suffused with grey. I. morosa can be confused with I. mustulenta and I. lignana. Adults are on the wing from November to April.

<i>Austramathes purpurea</i> Species of moth

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.
