Cauchas vittata
Cauchas vittata is a species of longhorn moth in the family Adelidae, described by Davis and Medeiros in 2023. It belongs to the genus Cauchas, a group of small moths characterized by their extraordinarily long antennae, particularly in males. The species name 'vittata' (meaning striped or banded) likely refers to distinct longitudinal markings on the wings or body. As a recently described species, detailed natural history information remains limited.
