| Phassodes vitiensis Bethune-Baker, 1905 |
Phassodes is a monotypic moth genus of the family Hepialidae. The only species is considered to be P. vitiensis which is found in Fiji and possibly Samoa. It is very variable and in the past the genus has been split into up to seven species. The life cycle is unknown but the larva is presumed to feed underground on the roots of plants or decaying matter.
