Lophocampa nimbifacta is a moth of the Arctiidae family. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1912. It is found in Mexico.

Description

Dyar's original description from 1912:

Pale straw-yellow, the hind wings yellowish white, semihyaline. Fore wings opaque, pale yellow, the markings pale brown, faint and nearly obliterate; these are in the form of chainlike bands, with a dark discoloration at the end of the cell and a small speck in the submarginal band between veins 5 and 6. The markings are much as in Halisidota thyopliora Schaus but very much fainter as well as being more regular and chainlike. Expanse: Male, 22 mm.; female, 30 mm.
