Sign in to savethumb|Scribbles on Eucalyptus haemastoma probably from O. racemosa Ogmograptis, the scribbly gum moth, is a genus in the family Bucculatricidae and was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1935, as a monotypic genus (consisting of one species only). They are found in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland. However, in 2007, Cooke and Edwards argued that the patterning of the scribbles was different for each of the three eucalypts, Eucalyptus pauciflora, E. racemosa ssp. rossii, and E. delegatensis) and that it was likely that these differing patterns were caused by la

==Taxonomy== In 2012, Horak et al. published a new account of the genus, describing eleven new species of Ogmograptis, and distinguishing three groups, the scribula, maxdayi and triradiata groups.
