Abstract: This work provides an overview of the distribution, current conservation status and biology of four species of sun-moths (Synemon spp. Lepidoptera: Castniidae) that are known to occur in the Mallee region of north-western Victoria. As it is apparent that three of these species are currently threatened, the possible reasons for this situation are briefly discussed. Some broad recommendations are also made for the conservation and management of these threatened species.; C1
