Morris's Wainscot (Chortodes morrisii) is a moth of the family Noctuidae.
It is found in western and southern Europe.[1][2][3][4] In Britain it is limited to Devon and Dorset, while the form bondii, previously occurring in Kent, is thought to be extinct.[5]
The wingspan is 26–34 mm.[2][3][5] The moth flies in June and July.
The larvae feed on stems of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea).[5][6]
