Lederer, 1857

Eccrita is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family and is in the subfamily of Calpinae. The genus was considered a synonym of Lygephila by Poole, but it was revalidated by Beck in 1996.

If treated as a valid genus, it contains the species Eccrita ludicra Hübner, 1790, but many authors place it in Lygephila as Lygephila ludicra
