The Major Sallow (Feralia major) is a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found from the northeastern parts of the United States west across the southern boreal forest to western Alberta. The exact southern range is uncertain, as populations from the southeastern USA south to Texas are brighter blue-green and appear to be a separate species.
The wingspan is about 40 mm. The moth flies in April depending on the location.
The larvae feed on pinus species.
