Speiredonia is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae.

Tibia slightly hairy, and mid-tibia spineless.

[2] Some of the species, such as Speiredonia spectans, S. cthulhui, S. hogenesi, S. martabanica, S. sandokana, S. alix.

S. itynx, S. levis and S. celebensis have a pattern on the wings that while the moth is at rest looks like the 3-dimensional face of a lurking animal with eyes and nostrils.

This pattern is more clearly discernible in females[3] and may cause an attacking predator to hesitate or perhaps withdraw.
