Lacinipolia vicina is a moth in the Noctuidae family. It is found in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey and possibly Indiana.
The length of the forewings is 14-16 mm. The forewings are mottled medium-dark grey. The hindwings are pearly white in males and pearly light grey in females, with a dark grey marginal band that is thin in males (but wider along the veins) and wider in females.[1] Adults have been recorded on wing from April to May and September to October in two generations per year.
The larvae are probably polyphagous ground dwellers.[2]
