Ogdoconta altura is a moth in the Noctuidae family. It is found in south-central and southern Texas, as well as in north-eastern Mexico.[1]

The length of the forewings is 9.5–13 mm. The overall coloration of the adults is brown with a green-gray cast. The hindwing of the female is more heavily suffused with brown than the male, although the amount of dark suffusion is variable among males. Adults have been recorded on wing in April, May, July, August and September.
