Arctia ungemachi is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Ferdinand Le Cerf in 1924 and is named after Henri Ungemach. It is found in Morocco.[1]
The larvae feed on Taraxacum and Plantago species.[2]
This species, along with the others of the genus Atlantarctia, was moved to Arctia as a result of phylogenetic research published by Rönkä et al. in 2016.[3]
