Eulepidotis alabastraria is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Jacob Hübner in 1823.[1] Many former members of the moth family Noctuidae are classified in the family Erebidae now, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae.[2] This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme.[3] It is found from the southern part of the United States to Central[4] and South America.
