The Emmelia trabealis, sometimes known as the Spotted Sulphur, is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae.
It is found in Europe; its range is bordered by the Ural Mountains. It was formerly resident in Great Britain, but has not been seen at any known breeding colonies since 25 June 1960 and is presumed extinct there.[1]
The wingspan is 18–24 mm. The moth flies from May to August depending on the location.
The larvae feed on field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis).[1]
