    pink scavenger moths, pandanus flower moths

    Anatrachyntis is a genus of small moths in the family Cosmopterigidae, established by Meyrick in 1915. The genus contains approximately 60 described species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, with particularly high diversity in the Indo-Pacific region, Africa, and Australia. Some taxonomists include this genus within Pyroderces, though this classification remains disputed. Several species have documented ecological associations, including predation on spider eggs and herbivory on plants.
