Adisura bella Gaede, 1915 |
Adisura bella is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae first described by Max Gaede in 1915. It is found in Africa, including South Africa,[1] Somalia, Tanzania and Saudi Arabia[2]
This species has a wingspan of 25 millimetres (0.98 in) and resembles Adisura atkinsoni, from which it can be distinguished by the different distribution of the pink colour and the yellow-brownish edge of the hindwings, that is black at A. atkinsoni.[3]
