Izatha

Izatha is a genus of moths of the family Oecophoridae. They are commonly known as lichen tuft moths. This genus was first described by Francis Walker in 1864 and is endemic to New Zealand. In 1915 Edward Meyrick synonymised the genus Semiocosma with this genus. The original description did not have a note about the etymology of the name Izatha. The meaning of the name is not clear.
