Aseptis perfumosa
Aseptis perfumosa is a noctuid moth endemic to southern California, first described by George Hampson in 1918. It occupies diverse habitats from sea level to 2000 meters elevation, including coastal chaparral, canyons, urban areas, brush land, and open oak forest. The species is univoltine, with adults active from early April to early June at lower elevations and slightly later at higher elevations. Larvae feed on species of Arctostaphylos.
