''Abantiades'' is a genus of moths of the family Hepialidae. There are 14 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. 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 aurilegulus'' * '' Abantiades barcas'' * ''Abantiades fulvomarginatus'' * '' Abantiades hyalinatus'' (southern Queensland to Tasmania) * ''Abantiades hydrographus'' * '' Abantiades labyrinthicus'' (east coast, southern Queensland to Tasmania) * '' Abantiades latipennis'' - Pindi moth (Victoria and Tasmania) * '' Abantiades leucochiton'' * ''Abantiades magnificus'' (eastern Victoria a ...

Victoria (Australia)
Victoria is a state in southeastern Australia. It is the second-smallest state with a land area of , the second most populated state (after New South Wales) with a population of over 6.5 million, and the most densely populated state in Australia (28 per km2). Victoria is bordered by New South Wales to the north and South Australia to the west, and is bounded by the Bass Strait to the south (with the exception of a small land border with Tasmania located along Boundary Islet), the Great Australian Bight portion of the Southern Ocean to the southwest, and the Tasman Sea (a marginal sea of the South Pacific Ocean) to the southeast. The state encompasses a range of climates and geographical features from its temperate coastal and central regions to the Victorian Alps in the northeast and the semi-arid north-west. The majority of the Victorian population is concentrated in the central-south area surrounding Port Phillip Bay, and in particular within the metr ...

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 ...
