The Crescent Striped (''Apamea oblonga'') is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in North and CentralEurope, east to southern Russia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Turkestan, Turkey, Iran, southern Siberia, northern Pakistan, Mongolia, China (Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Ningxia), Sakhalin and Japan ==Description== The wingspan is about 43–48 mm. Forewing blackish fuscous; the space between outer and submarginal lines paler, brownish grey, the upper stigmata filled in with white or ochreous; the median area and terminal area on each side of submarginal line blacker; a deep black streak from base below cell and a thick black space along submedian fold between claviform stigma and outer line; hindwing dull ochreous grey with dark veins and cellspot; the terminal half fuscous and the fringe whitish; — ''lunulina'' Haw. is blacker with both stigmata dark, the reniform with a few pale dots on outer side; — ''fribolus'' Bsd. is uniformly black with all markings obscured; the only pale markings being the whitish dots on outer edge of the reniform and the praeapical costal dots; — ab. ''variegata'' Stgr., from Armenia and Turania, has the thorax variegated with white; the forewing with whitish suffusion beyond reniform and at apex; the black markings strong; the hues defined by whitish, and the stigmata with white annuli; this must be very nearly the same as ''oblonga'' Haw., which Staudinger has ignored; the grey brown form with the markings fairly plain is abjecta Hbn., of which the extreme form, unicolor Tutt, with the markings obsolete, and the whole wing grey brown, is the usual form in the East of Britain. .〔Seitz, A.
