Titanomis
''Titanomis'' is a genus of moth containing the single species ''Titanomis sisyrota'', the Frosted Phoenix, which is only known from New Zealand. It is an extremely rare species with only 10 reliable records. Furthermore, taxonomists have difficulty placing it within an existing superfamily. Although the species is thought to be endemic to New Zealand, it might also be a sporadic immigrant.
It is a large species, with a wingspan of about 60 mm. The forewings are dark brown with dark streaks on the veins and a whitish border. The hindwings are shaggy.
Females probably insert the eggs into the host, which might be woody branches or stems of living plants, rotten wood or even a bracket fungus.
==Etymology==
The genus name is derived from ''Titan'' (meaning giant) and ''anomis'' (meaning anomalous) and refers to the size and unusual morphology for the group it was originally placed in. The species name is derived from ''sisyrota'' (meaning wearing a shaggy garment) and probably refers to the hairs on the inner margin of the hindwings.〔(New Zealand's most enigmatic moth - what we know about Titanomis sisyrota )〕
