Abstract

The monotypic genus Uncobotyodes Kirti & Rose and its type species U. patulalis (Walker) are redescribed. The female genitalia of U. patulalis are described for the first time. An additional species, Uncobotyodes latizona sp. nov., is described as new to science. The two species of the genus are compared. Images of adults and their genitalia are provided.
