Wiseana is a genus of ghost moths, collectively known as porina,[1] of the family Hepialidae.

[2] Some species of this genus are a major pest in New Zealand exotic pastures.

[1][3] It is impossible to distinguish species at the larval/caterpillar stage without DNA technology, however adult porina moth species can be visually distinguished.

[3] The genus was first identified by Pierre Viette in 1961, who recognised a distinction between the New Zealand members of the genus Oxycanus and those occurring in Australia and New Guinea.
