Conisania andalusica, Barrett's marbled coronet, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It was described by Otto Staudinger in 1859. It is found in Ireland, Great Britain, Germany and on the Iberian Peninsula. Outside of Europe, it is found in North Africa. It was described from the Sierra Nevada in Spain.
The wingspan is 35–39 mm for males and 39 mm for females. Forewing dark grey, mixed with ochreous; the two upper stigmata and a patch beneath them beyond claviform palest; hindwing blackish; the antennae of the male are said to bear strongly developed teeth. This species is very similar to Conisania luteago and separable only by genitalic characters.
Adults are on wing from June to August. The larvae feed on flowering plants in the genus Silene. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Conisania andalusica sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 282nd most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Conisania andalusica in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Conisania andalusica sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Sierra Nevada National Park, in our data
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Conisania andalusica sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Conisania andalusica that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Turnip Moth (about 20%), The Bordered Straw (about 20%) and Silver Υ (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Conisania andalusica is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (16 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
