Aliona alena is a moth in the family Noctuidae and the only species in the monotypic genus Aliona. It is found in China.
Etymology
[edit]The genus name was originally proposed as Alena Gyulai, Saldaitis & Zilli, 2019[1] but due to the existence of a senior homonym with another insect genus (for a snakefly), this moth genus was given a replacement name.[2]
