Victory in two or even three of the series (a rare feat known as the Triple Crown) marks a horse as truly exceptional.

The genus contains the Atlas moth (Attacus atlas), and Attacus caesar, the second and third largest known moths (in terms of wingspan), though different sources treat one or the other as slightly larger. Both are outclassed by the largest, (in terms of wingspan) moths, Thysania agrippina, also known as the White Witch Moth.

Like other saturniid moths, adults lack a fully formed digestive tract and do not feed.

Gardiner (1932–2021), with the second part of the name meaning 'fish' in Greek: ἰχθῦς (ikhthûs).

The type specimen was originally thought to belong to the type species of Amblypterus, A. latus, but a reconstruction by Gardiner in 1963 determined it to be a different fish from Amblypterus. It was described as a new genus in 1976.
