Dirce aesiodora (Pencil Pine Moth) is known to occur only in Tasmania, in high altitude alpine and sub-alpine forests above 960m wherever the endemic pencil pine (Athrotaxis cupressoides) occurs.

The known potential habitat for this species is protected in National Parks, most in World Heritage Areas and while broad threats to the species habitat, that is, fire and disease, have been identified, no direct threats to the species survival have been identified.
