Abstract
The genus Kailasha Singh & Kirti of Erebidae in Oriental Region is reviewed, with six species including a new species, Kailasha babensis Bae & Bayarsaikhan, sp. n., which is closely similar to effracta group in the superficial characters. Two species, K. pellucida (Rothschild), comb. n. and K. angkorensis Bayarsaikhan & Bae, comb. n., are newly combined from the genus Cyana Walker. Brief descriptions on all known species, with illustrations of adults and both sexes of genitalia are provided. A key to species is given.
