This taxon was named by Francis Walker in 1866.[2][3][4]
The common name, Pikachu moth, comes from the fact that the moth shares colors with the popular Pokémon character Pikachu.
M. strigicincta appears on a commemorative Ghanaian postage stamp in 2002 along with other stamps featuring other species of moths. The stamp features the Pikachu moth with a purple background, with "Ghana" written in the top right and the characters "C4500" in the bottom left in red Comic Sans.[5]
