Abstract

A new species of notodontid moth, Neopheosia melaniata sp. nov. is described with illustration. This new species is closely allied to N. fasciata Moore, 1888 (type species) and completely conforms to the characterization of genus Neopheosia Matsumura. The wing coloration, distinct discal spot on forewing and genitalic features make it distinct. The taxonomic account of N. fasicata Moore is included.
