Peridea ferruginea, the chocolate prominent, is a species of prominent moth in the family Notodontidae.[1][2] It was described by Alpheus Spring Packard in 1864 and is found in North America.[2] In 2018, Miller et al. distinguished Peridea bordeloni, whose larvae specialize on river birch Betula nigra, as a separate species, though P. bordeloni has previously been identified as P. ferruginea.[3]

The MONA or Hodges number for Peridea ferruginea is 7921.[4][5]
