Mocis proverai

Mocis proverai is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Alberto Zilli in 2000.

It is found in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

In a recent publication Mocis frugalis, that is found in Asia and Australia was promoted to a separate species.

Both species can be distinguished with microscopic examination of the genitalia.

The larvae feed on various grasses like sugarcane and oat.
