Schinia bina, the bina flower moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1852.[1] It is found from Mexico City to central Florida, and as far north as Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada.[2][3]
Schinia meskeana is probably a valid species, but remains a synonym until a revision has been published.
The wingspan is about 11 mm. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on Verbesina encilioides, Gaillardia pulchella, and hawkweed species.
