Actias gnoma, commonly known as the Japanese moon moth, is a moth in the Saturniidae family. It is found in Japan[1] and the Russian Far East.
Adults are light greenish blue with a raised and sparse scale cover. A single postmedial fascia is found on the forewings. The eyes are small, mostly with a fine black frame (although this is sometimes absent). The inner half of the eye is narrower than the outer one. The apex of the hindwings is usually pointed.[2]
