Filiola occidentale is a moth in the family Lasiocampidae. It was described by Strand in 1912.[1] It is found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ivory Coast and Nigeria.[2]
The wingspan is about 86 mm. The forewings are brownish grey, with a dark, irregular, very oblique, somewhat dentate stripe from the inner margin near the base to well beyond the cell, where it is rounded basewards slightly to the costa. Beyond this is a second irregular similar stripe extending to the costa almost to the apex, whilst in the subterminal area there is a trace of another stripe. The hindwings are rather transparent white, with the apex and termen to vein two mauve-grey.[3]
