Chloridea tergemina (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1874)
|
Chloridea tergemina is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in South America, including Brazil.
The larvae feed on various solanaceaeous plants.
The species was formerly a member of the genus Heliothis, but was moved to the reinstated genus Chloridea as a result of genetic and morphological research published in 2013.[1]
