Abantiades Penneshawensis
''Abantiades'' is a genus of moths of the family Hepialidae. There are 37 described species, all found exclusively in Australia. The group includes some large species with a wingspan of up to 160 mm. The larvae feed on the roots of ''Eucalyptus'' and other trees. Simonsen's 2018 revision of the Australian Hepialidae synonymized the genera ''Bordaia'' and ''Trictena'' to ''Abantiades'', and included the former genera's species here. The Pindi moth (''A. latipennis'') is an abundant species of the eucalypt forests of Tasmania and, unlike many invertebrate species, appears to adapt well to the controversial forestry practice of clearfelling. Species Abantiades includes the following species: * '' Abantiades albofasciatus'' * '' Abantiades aphenges'' * '' Abantiades argyrosticha'' * '' Abantiades atripalpis'' * ''Abantiades aurilegulus'' * ''Abantiades barcas'' * '' Abantiades barnardi'' * '' Abantiades fulvomarginatus'' * ''Abantiades hyalinatus'' (southern Queensland to ...

Abantiades Latipennis
''Abantiades latipennis'', known as the Pindi moth, is a species of moth in the family Hepialidae. It may also be referred to as a swift moth or a ghost moth, as this is a common name associated with Hepialidae. Endemic to Australia and identified in 1932, it is most populous in temperate rainforest where eucalypti are prevalent, as the larvae feed primarily on the roots of these trees. Females lay eggs during flight in a scattering fashion. The larvae live for over eighteen months underground, while adult moths survive for approximately one week, as they have no mouthparts with which to feed. The moths are preyed upon by a number of predators, including bats and owls. Brown in colour overall, males are paler and the identifying silver bars of the male's wings are more prominent than those of the female's, with dark margins. Male adults are generally smaller. Established clearfelling practices have been shown to favour the Pindi moth, and could lead to it being considered a pest d ...
