Short description: Species of moth

Ericeia pertendens is a moth in the family Erebidae first described by Francis Walker in 1858.^[1]^[2] It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics to the Solomon Islands.^[3]

The wingspan is 37–45 mm.^[4] The ground colour of the forewing is ashy grey

The larvae feed on Berchemia and possibly Cassia species. Young larvae are whitish, but later instars become blackish. Full-grown larvae rest along sticks or twigs. Pupation takes place in a slight cocoon of silk amongst litter on the ground.
