Synemon wulwulam is a moth in the Castniidae family. It is found in Australia, including Western Australia and the Northern Territory[2] and Queensland.
Adults have pale brown forewings with a dark brown base, margin and cell on top, and orange and brown underneath. The hindwings are dark brown, often with a marginal arc of orange spots on top, but plain brown underneath.[3]
The larvae probably feed on the roots of Chrysopogon fallax.
