The Goat Moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) of Papua Indonesia
by Rob de Vos
Zeuzera caudata Joicey & Talbot, 1916
Distribution
STATUS: One of the largest Zeuzera species from Papua, though not common. Restricted to lowland areas. Yakovlev (2011b) places this species in the genus Orientozeuzera Yakovlev, 2011. For the time being this is not followed here, because some other specialists have comments on his splitting the genus Zeuzera into 7 (new) genera, until more clearity has been presented.
