The mahoe stripper or green mahoe moth (Feredayia graminosa) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.[1] This moth was first described by Francis Walker in 1857 as Erana graminosa.[2]

Adults are on wing from October to January.[citation needed]

The larvae feed on the leaves of the native mahoe tree, Melicytus ramiflorus.[citation needed]

Feredayia graminosa is a known host of species within the fly genus Pales.[3]
