Naarda is a large genus of erebid moths currently encompassing 108 species.[1][2] Initially identified by Francis Walker in 1866,[3] it is in the family Erebidae.[4] Somewhat ruddy in appearance, this genus is distinguishable for its generally slender thorax and abdomen, and straight, porrect labial palpi. Most species are a light tan color, but shading can reach as deep as a charcoal, with muddy yellow, conspicuous reniform, orbicular stigmata featured on the forewings, sometimes reflected bilaterally superior. (Though these may be significantly more minute and successively annular.)
