Heterobathmia pseuderiocrania, the southern beech moth, is a species of moth belonging to the family Heterobathmiidae. It was first described by Niels Peder Kristensen and Ebbe Nielsen in 1979.[1] It is found in temperate South America, including Argentina.[2] The mouthparts are primitive and well adapted for collecting and grinding pollen of Nothofagus species. The five piece maxillary palps display specialized structures which enable the collection of pollen. [3]
