Termessa diplographa is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1899. It is found in Eastern Australia, often inhabiting forested and open woodlands, as well as heathland habitats.[1][2] As a lichen moth, the larvae of Termessa diplographa likely feed on lichens that grow on tree trunks.[3]
