Cebysa leucotelus, the Australian bagmoth or lichen bag moth, is a moth of the Psychidae family. It is the only species in the genus Cebysa. It is found in New Zealand and the southern half of Australia (Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia). The larvae build a protective bag like the other bag moths in the family Psychidae, and feed on lichen and algae. Lichen bag moths arrived in New Zealand from Australia in 1981 and have been gradually spreading across the country.
