Comadia redtenbacheri is a moth in the family Cossidae. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded in Mexico and southern Texas.[1]
The moth was first named in 1848 by Austrian entomologist Carl Eduard Hammerschmidt (1800–1874) in honour of his colleague Ludwig Redtenbacher (1814–1876).[2]
The length of the forewings is 12–14 mm for males and 13–16 mm for females.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from April to May and in September.[4] The moth lays its eggs near the base of the Agave leaves.[3]
