Allocryptobia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Cossidae. Its sole species, Allocryptobia musae, is found in Guatemala and Brazil. [1] Found by Jonah Twomey for the first time in the late 1840s they continue to mainly populate Brazil but recent 2023 studies have shown their habitat is under threat and they are likely to migrate north during winter months with up to 164,000 flying in a herd at a time.
