Euxoa apopsis is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is known only from high elevations in the mountains of south-western British Columbia.[1]
The length of the forewings is 14–15 mm.[1]
Adults may be partially diurnal,[1] which may explain why only two specimens were collected at the type locality in spite of many nights of collecting over a period of six years.
Etymology
The species name is a Greek noun used in apposition and means "a lofty spot", in reference to the high elevation of the type locality.
