Craniophora praeclara is a moth of the Noctuidae family. Its distribution includes North Korea,[1] Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu),[2][3][4] China (Guizhou (including Fanjingshan), Heilongjiang, Jilin),[5] and the Russian Far East (Lower and Middle Amur, Primorye, Sakhalin, South Kuril Islands).[6][7]
The species is called ニッコウケンモン in Japanese,[4][8] 큰쥐똥나무저녁나방 (automated translation: wood pellets evening large moth)[9] in Korean,[2] and 锋首夜蛾 (automated translation: Feng first armyworm)[9] in China.[5]
Its wingspan is 38–45 mm.[4] They emerge as adults between June and September in Japan.[4]
Graeser's 1890 description described a complex mix of colorations and markings on the wings, a purplish grey head and thorax mixed with fuscous, and a whiteish abdomen "irrorated with fuscous and dorsally tinged with brown towards base, the crests blackish."[10]
