Cebysa leucotelus, the Australian bagmoth or lichen bag moth, is a moth of the Psychidae family. It is the only species in the genus Cebysa.[1] It is found in New Zealand and the southern half of Australia (Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia).
The larvae build a protective bag like the other bag moths in the family Psychidae, and feed on lichen and algae.[2]
Lichen bag moths arrived in New Zealand from Australia in 1981 and have been gradually spreading across the country.[2]
