Enigmogramma basigera
Pink-washed Looper, Pink-washed Looper Moth
Enigmogramma basigera, commonly known as the pink-washed looper, is a noctuid moth first described by Francis Walker in 1865. It is a relatively small moth with a wingspan of 28–33 mm. The species is notable for its limited larval records—only two specimens have been documented, both reared on Hydrocotyle umbellata. It belongs to the subfamily Plusiinae, a group often referred to as loopers due to their characteristic looping locomotion as caterpillars.
