''Thitarodes'' is a genus of moths of the family Hepialidae. In English ''Thitarodes'' is known as "ghost moth". They are found in eastern Asia. The majority are restricted to the Tibetan Plateau. Often in Chinese entomological nomenclature ''Thitarodes'' is still referred to as ''Hepialus'', although the name was changed back in 1968. Furthermore, some authors use incorrectly the term "bat moth" which is a bad translation of the Chinese term for ghost moth. Many larvae of this genus are the hosts to the parasitic fungus ''Ophiocordyceps sinensis''.

The 60 genera contain at least 587 currently recognised species of these primitive moths worldwide. The genera '' Fraus'' (endemic to Australia), '' Gazoryctra'' ( Holarctic), '' Afrotheora'' (Southern African), and '' Antihepialus'' (African) are considered to be the most primitive, containing four genera and about 51 species with a mostly relictual southern Gondwanan distribution and are currently separated from the Hepialidae ''sensu stricto'' which might form a natural, derived group.Nielsen, E.S., Robinson, G.S. and Wagner, D.L. 2000.
