Alypia mariposa, the mariposa forester, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote and Coleman Townsend Robinson in 1868.[1] It is found in Coast Ranges and Sierra foothills of California ,[2] from Kern and San Luis Obispo counties in the south to Placer County in the north.[3]
It resembles Alypia ridingsii except it lacks black lines through the white wing spots. Adults fly in April, May and June.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Clarkia bottae[citation needed] and Clarkia unguiculata.[2]
