From HandWiki
Atractoceros is a monotypic genus of moths in the subfamily Phycodinae.[1] It contains only the species Atractoceros xanthoprocta.[2] It can be found in South Africa, Malawi, Tanzania, and Mozambique.[3] They have relatively short, narrow wings and large bodies. It is theorized they possibly mimic Hymenoptera due to their transparent hindwings and abdomen patterns.[3]
