Psectraglaea is a monotypic moth genus in the family Noctuidae, first described by George Hampson in 1906. This genus contains only one species: Psectraglaea carnosa, commonly known as the pink sallow. This species was originally described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1877, and it is native to North America. Within North America, Psectraglaea carnosa is classified as threatened in Connecticut, and as a species of special concern in Massachusetts. The larval host plant of this species has not been confirmed, but researchers believe the most likely host is Vaccinium angustifolium.
