Lophocampa indistincta is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by William Barnes and James Halliday McDunnough in 1910. It is found in California, [1] [2] where it is only found on the Channel Islands. [3]
Male
General color dark ocherous; palpi, front and shaft of antennae light yellow; thorax with some indistinct darker shades. Markings on primaries very obscure; three spots along costa of a light yellowish color, the first two followed inwardly by a minute spot of similar color; an obscure spot just beyond cell, from which a faint broken brown line proceeds to middle of inner margin; beyond this another faint line commencing at vein M2 and ending above inner margin in a uniform spot, slightly lighter than ground color; a brown dentate submarginal line, most prominent at apex. Secondaries hyaline (glass like), tinged with yellow at anal angle.
Beneath hyaline; primaries broadly suffused with dark ochreous at apex and outer margin; costal margin of both wings yellowish, a brown mark just beyond cell, and an incomplete submarginal row of spots of same color.
Wingspan 43 mm. [4]
