Serrodes campana is a species of moth of the Erebidae family. It is found from the Indo-Australian tropics to eastern Australia, Fiji, Samoa and New Caledonia. It is also present in Japan and Korea.
The wingspan is about 80 mm. The adult is a fruit piercer, but also feeds on flower nectar.[2]
The larvae feed on Lepisanthes, Nephelium, Sapindus, Schleichera and Acer species. They are ochreous blue-grey, finely and densely speckled with bluish black, the spiracular zone of the abdomen forming a darker but irregular band with a more rufous edging above and below. All the legs are ochreous.[3]
