Phazaca leucocera is a species of moth of the family Uraniidae. It is found in Sri Lanka, southern India, China, Borneo and the Solomon Islands.[1]
The larvae feed on Canthium species. The larvae rest on the underside of old leaves but only feed on young leaves. Pupation takes place on the soil surface in an ovoid cocoon of silk incorporating particles of earth.[2]
