''Paraseptis adnixa'' is a moth of the Noctuidae family and only member of the ''Paraseptis'' genus. It is widely distributed along the Pacific Coast from northern Mexico to south-western British Columbia in a variety of forested habitats. The wingspan is about 32–37.5 mm. Adults are grey brown, has a full complement of dark lines and spots and a pale postreniform patch. There is a streaky hindwing with dark veins. The basal dash is thicker black than that of ''Aseptis binotata'' and extends fully to the antemedial line. Black wedges on the wing distal to the lower cell and in the fold are also more prominent in ''P. adnixa''. In the Pacific Northwest, ''P. adnixa'' is typically patchy brown, often with a reddish tint, with a large pale ochre postreniform patch and contrasting black markings. Adults are on wing from April to July. The larvae feed on ''Oemleria cerasiformis'' and ''Prunus'' species. ==Etymology== The genus name is derived from ''para'' (meaning next to) and ''septis'' by analogy to ''Aseptis''.〔(Revision of the genus Aseptis McDunnough (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Noctuinae, Xylenini) with a description of two new genera, Paraseptis and Viridiseptis )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paraseptis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
