Maradana vidualis is a species of snout moth. It is found on Malta and Sicily[2] and in Tunisia.[1]
The wingspan is 23–25 mm for females and 27–29 mm for males. Both sexes may be found in three different forms: a reddish/brown, light greyish-green and dark greyish-green form. This last colour form is the rarest and the reddish/brown form is the commonest. Adults are on wing from July to October in probably one generation per year.[3]
