List of moths of Australia (Batrachedridae)

This is a list of moth species belonging to the family Batrachedridae that are found in Australia. Batrachedridae is a family of very small moths, often characterized by their slender bodies and narrow, pointed wings. They are often referred to as palm moths or needle moths due to the feeding habits of some larvae on palms or conifer needles.

While this list aims to be comprehensive, the taxonomy and classification of moths are constantly evolving as new species are discovered and relationships are clarified through ongoing research. Therefore, this should be considered a dynamic resource subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, consulting specialized databases and taxonomic publications is recommended.

Species listed here ideally include the accepted scientific name (genus and species) and, where available, common names. Species are typically listed alphabetically by genus. Records are based on published data, museum collections, and reputable online databases focusing on Australian Lepidoptera.

Note that synonymy (where a single species has been described under multiple names) is common in Lepidoptera, and an effort is made to reflect current, accepted nomenclature. However, users are encouraged to cross-reference species names with taxonomic databases to ensure accuracy. Further research may be needed to fully clarify the distribution and status of some species.

Currently, specific species listings for Batrachedridae moths in Australia are scarce within commonly accessible, openly-licensed encyclopedic resources. Comprehensive lists are more likely found in specialized databases, taxonomic journals, and museum records. Therefore, this initial entry provides context and a framework for future expansion as verified species lists become available.
