Trabala ganesha is a moth of the Lasiocampidae family. It is found in Sundaland.
Trabala ganesha, female. Borneo, Trusmadi area
This species is distinctive in both sexes. The male is a pale green with straight, rather oblique fasciae, particularly that of the hindwing; basal to these the ground is distinctly paler, grading slightly darker basad. The genitalia have two large serrate lobes on the tegumen, with a circularly serrate zone in between. The female is a darker, yellower green, uniform, with relatively straight fasciae; large dark brown areas on the tornus of both wings are diagnostic, and the fringes are strongly darkened.
The species is frequent in lowland rainforest but not encountered in that on acid soils.
