Hypena tenebrosa
Hypena tenebrosa is a moth species in the family Erebidae, subfamily Hypeninae, described by Walker in 1865. The species was originally described under the genus Peliala before being transferred to Hypena. As a member of the genus Hypena, it belongs to a group commonly known as snout moths due to their elongated labial palps. The specific epithet "tenebrosa" refers to darkness or shadow, likely alluding to the moth's coloration.
