Austramathes purpurea is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae.[2] It was first described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1879 from a specimen collected in Otago.[3] It is endemic to New Zealand.

Description

The larvae of this species are green with orange, black, yellow and pink markings.[5]

The wingspan of the adult male A. purpurea is 29 - 37mm where as the wingspan of the female is 29 - 42mm.[2] George Hudson described the species as follows:

{{quote|The expansion of the wings is 1 1/2 inches. The forewings are rich, glossy reddish-brown with several scattered whitish scales; there is a distinct yellow mark on the costa at about one-fourth, forming the beginning of a broken transverse line; the orbicular is small, round and yellowish; the reniform is small, crescentic and yellowish, the space between the orbicular and the reniform is very dark blackish-brown; beyond the reniform there is a conspicuous white mark on the costa forming the beginning of a second broken transverse line; a third shaded line is situated near the termen. The hind-wings are pale brown with a dark spot in the middle, very conspicuous on the under surface.[7]}}

Distribution

A. purpurea is endemic to New Zealand,[4] and found in both the North and the South Islands but has yet to be recorded at Stewart Island.[2] Adults can be found on the wing during the months of September until April.[5]

Habitat

This species prefers native forest as its habitat.[6]

Host species

The caterpillars of A. purpurea feed on māhoe as well as the narrow-leaved māhoe.[2]

Collection method

Robert Hoare has hypothesized that light trapping may not be the most efficient technique for collection of this species.[2]
