Armactica columbina is a moth of the family Nolidae first described by Francis Walker in 1865.[1] It is found in the Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland and the north of Western Australia.[2]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults have dark grey forewings with a grey, then white, brown and black band along the outer edge, a small blue eyespot near the centre and a row of five eyespots in each brown band. The hindwings are yellow with a black border.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Cordia subcordata.[3]
