Ectopatria aspera is a moth of the Noctuidae family.[1] It is found in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and New Zealand. It is considered a migratory species.[2]

The wingspan is 36–38 mm.

The forewings and thorax are whitish-grey. The hindwings are white with a broad fuscous area round the apex and termen in males and wholly fuscous in females. Males have a dense truncate tuft of hair on the middle tibia.[3]
