The Light-loving noctuid moth, Agrotis photophila was a species of moth in the Noctuidae family. It was endemic to Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, United States.[2]
This moth was last reported around 1900.[3] Two dead specimens are preserved in the British Museum. These had been collected near Honolulu in the 19th century. At that time the species was already rare. [4]
These dead specimens have been described thus:[5]
