Eucalantica is a genus of moths of the Yponomeutidae family. Species in the genus are superficially similar to Thecobathra species, which also have a silvery white body and forewings, but differ from the latter in having a dark brown costal streak in forewing.
When resting, Eucalantica moths lay their body parallel to the substrate with their forelegs extended forward.[1]
