Anarta nigrolunata is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by Alpheus Spring Packard in 1867. It is found in the Arctic and alpine regions of Canada.

Anarta melanopa was considered a synonym of Hadula nigrolunata, but J. Donald Lafontaine and James T. Troubridge state that there are "numerous consistent differences that warrant recognizing them as separate species".[1]
