Magusa divaricata, the orbed narrow-wing, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1874.[1] It is found from eastern Canada south through the Caribbean and Central America to Paraguay and Argentina. It is a migratory species, which travels north in late summer and fall.[2]
The wingspan is 40 mm.
Magusa divaricata was previously treated as a synonym of Magusa orbifera, but was recently reinstated as a valid species.[3]
