''Acyphas semiochrea'' is a moth of the Lymantriidae family. It is found along most of the coast of Australia, including: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The wingspan is about 30 mm. Adult females are white and have an orange tuft on the tail. Males are also white but sometimes have a dark mark at the tornus of each forewing or a broad dark band along the margin of each forewing. The hairs around the thorax are sometimes yellowish. Sometimes the black skin of the thorax and/or abdomen shows through between the white hairs. It is considered a pest on ''Pinus radiata'', but has also been recorded feeding on ''Acacia'', ''Eucalyptus'', ''Pultenaea'', ''Dodonaea'', ''Choretrum'', ''Myoporum'' and ''Tamarix''. The caterpillars are brown and hairy, with a pencil of black hairs each side of its head and a hairy tail. ==External links== *(Australian Faunal Directory ) *(Australian Insects ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acyphas semiochrea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
