Erygia precedens is a moth of the family Erebidae.[2] It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics to Australia, Fiji and Samoa.

Adults are similar to Erygia antecedens, but the forewings have a paler ground colour and are slightly deeper and more produced apically in antecedens.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on Calliandra species.[3]
