Xenomigia caesura is a moth of the Notodontidae family. It is found in north-eastern Ecuador.[1]
The length of the forewings is 13-16.5 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is light chocolate brown with orange-yellow veins. The wing base is dark brown. The hindwings are translucent light brown.
The larvae feed on Chusquea species.
Etymology
The species name is derived from Latin caesura (meaning a pause or break) and refers to the white mark arising from the forewing anal margin, which forms a narrow, transverse bar in most Xenomigia species but which is interrupted along the anal fold to form two small, white spots in X. caesura.
