Utetheisa salomonis is a disputed moth species of the family Erebidae. It is found on the Loyalty Islands, the New Hebrides, the Solomon Islands, New Britain, Fiji and New Caledonia.[1]
Utetheisa pectinata ruberrima is now considered a synonym of U. salomonis. However, U. salomonis may itself belong into Utetheisa pulchelloides.
