''Pollanisus nielseni'' is a moth of the Zygaenidae family. It inhabits Western Australia, mostly coastal areas, and has brilliantly shiny forewings. The diurnal adults are most active on sunny days. Eggs are laid on the plant ''Hibbertia spicata'', and females touch each egg after oviposition with a tuft of hair on their abdomen, which attaches protective spines. The larvae are brightly coloured and feed on ''H. spicata'' before pupation. ==Taxonomy== The holotype was collected 5 km east of Wedge Island in Western Australia by Gerhard M. Tarmann in 1995, and the species was formally described by him in 2005, in the work ''Zygaenid moths of Australia: a revision of the Australian Zygaenidae, (Procridinae: Artonini)''. Previously, ''P. nielseni'' had been considered a variant of the slightly larger moth ''Pollanisus cupreus''. The two species share habitat and possess similarities, but, among other visual differences, ''P. nielseni'' is smaller and has significantly more sheen to its forewings than ''P. cupreus''.〔 The etymology of the specific epithet ''nielseni'', given by Tarmann, is a tribute to his colleague Ebbe Nielsen, a leading Danish entomologist who had died four years before Tarmann described the species.〔
