The Shoulder-striped Wainscot (''Leucania comma'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. Some authors place it in the genus ''Mythimna''. It is found throughout Europe and in Russia (west of Urals). The forewings of this species share the pale buffish ground colour and prominent venation of other "wainscots" but has much stronger dark markings than most of its relatives, including a thick black basal streak which gives it its common name. The hindwings are dingy grey or brown with lighter fringes. ==Technical Description and variation== :''See glossary for terms used'' The wingspan is 35–42 mm.Forewing drab grey, suffused, except along costa and inner margin, and in an oblique fascia-form submarginal area, with blackish, the veins and folds remaining pale; a whitish lunule on discocellular: the pale submarginal fascia externally throw's off pale teeth along the veins to termen, the wedgeshaped intervals being filled in with black; a long black streak from base below cell: median vein white, with only a small white spot at end of cell and a minute black point above it: veins whitish with black terminal streaks in the intervals.Hindwing dark greyish, fuscous. 〔Seitz, A.
