The Laysan noctuid moth (Agrotis laysanensis) is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to Laysan, an island of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and is not known from anywhere else. The moth was one, if not the main species, eaten by the extinct Laysan millerbird. Agrotis moths are commonly known as millers, and the bird was named after its favorite food. The Wikipedia article cites two sources, a work on the Lepidoptera of the Outlying Hawaiian Islands and an Atoll Research Bulletin on specimens collected on Laysan Island.
