The Laysan Dropseed Noctuid Moth (Hypena laysanensis) on Laysan Island apparently became extinct with the local eradication of S. virginicus by feral rabbits.

Like its relative, Brithys crini, this noctuid is found almost exclusively on plants of the Amaryllidaceae and Liliaceae families, and has been recorded feeding on Ornithogalum eckloni and Boophone disticha.

It is also visited by noctuid moths at night.
