Aletia cuneata is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and pollinates native species such as Myosotis macrantha.

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Alfred Philpott in 1916 from specimens obtained at Ben Lomond and Macetown.[2][3] The genus level classification of New Zealand endemic moths within the genus Aletia is regarded as unsatisfactory and is under revision.[4] It is likely that this species will be removed from the genus Aletia and be placed within one of the following genera: Physetica, Graphania, Tmetolophota or Ichneutica.[4] As such the species is currently also known as Aletia (s.l.) cuneata.[5]

Description

Philpott reported that the species had a 38–39 mm wingspan.[2] George Hudson described the species as follows:

{{quote|The forewings are greyish-ochreous, strongly clouded with brownish-ochreous in the disc; all lines are very obscure, the orbicular is almost round, outlined in black towards the termen; the claviform very small with cloudy blackish edging; the reniform dull black; there is a cloudy median shade; all the leading veins are broadly marked in blueish-gray; a blackish patch is situated near the middle of the subterminal area, two at the cornus and another on vein 1 at the base of the wing. The hind-wings are greyish-ochreous with a very broad blackish terminal band.[8]}}

Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand.[6] A. cuneata was discovered by J. H. Lewis at Ophir.[7] Along with Otago,[8] A. cuneata has also been found in Canterbury in the South Island,[12] as well as Mount Tongariro and Mount Ruapehu in the North Island.[7]

Ecology and habitat

Adults can be active during the day and frequent montane and alpine areas.[9] Adult moths can be found during the months of November to March at altitudes of between 450 and 1640 m.[10]

Host plants

The larvae of A. cuneata feed on herbs.[11][12] Adults have been shown to feed from and help pollinate Myosotis macrantha at Mount Cook.[13]
