Zagiridia noctualis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1897. It is found on Borneo and on Woodlark Island in Papua New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults are dull grey brown with a slight rufous tinge, the forewings with faint traces of an antemedial line, angled on the median nervure. Both wings have a black speck at each angle of the cell and there is a very indistinct pale postmedial line with a series of obscure dark specks on its inner edge, retracted at vein 2 to below the end of the cell. There is an obscure pale waved submarginal line with a series of dark specks inside it and slightly angled inward on vein 5. There is also a marginal series of black specks.[2]
