Eulepidotis alabastraria is a moth of the Noctuidae family. The Noctuidae family of moths are mostly classified in the family Erebidae now, along with all of the former members of the families Arctiidae and Lymantriidae. This re-classification has not yet met with general consensus, and many resources and publications still follow the older classification scheme (e.g.) It is found from the southern part of the United States to Central America and South America.
