Abstract

An ennomine species, described earlier as Plagodis ochraceata Viidalepp, 1988, is transferred from Plagodis Hübner, [1823]1816 to a genus of its own: Ottia ochraceata (Viidalepp, 1988) (gen. nov., comb. nov.). The morphology of the adult moth, of its male and female genitalia, phenology and spatial distribution are described and its taxonomic relationships are analyzed.
