Diagnosis
Mormogystia is distinguished from all other Cossidae genera by having large silvery areas on the forewing.
Description
Medium-sized, brightly coloured moths. Male antennae bipectinate with very short processes; female antennal pecten much reduced. Large silvery areas on the forewing forming fasciae make this the only Cossidae genus to have such a high contrast pattern. Hindwings are uniform.
Distribution
The genus consists of four species distributed in north Africa, the Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Kenya.
