Ectopatria aspera is a moth of the family Noctuidae.[1] It is found in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia and New Zealand. It is considered a migratory species.[2] The holotype specimen of the now synonymised Xylina saxatilis is held at Museums Victoria.[3]
The wingspan is 36–38 mm.
The forewings and thorax are whitish-grey. The hindwings are white with a broad fuscous area around the apex and termen in males and wholly fuscous in females. Males have a dense truncate tuft of hair on the middle tibia.[4]
