Charadra tapa is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in the Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita Mountains of south-eastern Arizona, although the species probably occurs in adjacent parts of Mexico. [1]
The length of the forewings is 18 mm (0.71 in) for males and 19 mm (0.75 in) for females. [1] The main flight period is from September to October; a single specimen from early May indicates there may be spring flight. [1]
Larvae have been reared on Quercus gambelii. [1]
The name tapa is an anagram of pata.[ relevant?] [1]
