Condica concisa is a species of moth belonging to the genus Condica. The males and females can be hard to tell apart, as they are mostly the same colour (brown), but a mainly distinguishing feature which helps to identify the moth's gender is that the hindwing of the males is white, whereas the female hindwing is light brown. The moths are quite abundant, as they can be found from the northern part of Argentina to Florida and Texas.[2]
