Oxycanus buluwandji

Oxycanus buluwandji is a moth of the family Hepialidae, often referred to as swift moths or ghost moths. The family is considered primitive with at least 587 moths identified worldwide, including southern Gondwana distribution. Adult moths have greyish brown forewings each with a faint pale pattern. The hindwings are red shading to grey along the margins. The head and thorax have fawn patterns, and the abdomen is red. The wingspan is about 12 cms.

Norman Tindale first described the Buluwandji ghost moth in 1964 and named it after the Buluwai people where the moth was found.
