About Renia discoloralis Guenée, 1854
Renia discoloralis, commonly known as the discolored renia, is a litter moth belonging to the family Erebidae. The species was first formally described by Achille Guenée in 1854. In the United States, it is distributed from Missouri to southern New England, ranging south to at least North Carolina. It has been reported to possibly occur in Florida and Texas, though these populations may instead belong to an unnamed related species. The wingspan of this moth measures 35 to 45 mm. Adult moths are active between July and August, and the species produces one generation per year. The larvae of Renia discoloralis feed on detritus, including dead leaves.
