Eucalantica is a genus of moths of the family Yponomeutidae. 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.A taxonomic review of Eucalantica Busck (Lepidoptera, Yponomeutidae) with descriptions of six new species
