The Silky Wainscot (Chilodes maritimus) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in most of Europe.
The wingspan is 29-36 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August.
The larvae are partially carnivorous, feeding on insects (including pupae of other wainscots) internally within the stems of Phragmites australis.
