Trichiocercus sparshalli is a moth of the family Notodontidae, known by the common names long-tailed bombyx and Sparshall's moth. It was first described by John Curtis in 1830 and is found in Australia. The adult moth has a wingspan of about 40 millimetres. Its larvae are recorded feeding on Eucalyptus cinerea, Eucalyptus leucoxylon and Eucalyptus polyanthemos, which are eucalypts, and on one further plant, Lophostemon confertus. Taken together, the record describes a small Australian moth tied to a short list of named host plants.
