Abstract

The genus Rhagoba from Laos is revised, with three species, R. octomaculalis (Moore, 1867), R. obvellata Du & Li, 2012, and R. flavolineata sp. nov. is reported from Laos for the first time. A key to the Laotian species of Rhagoba is provided, with illustrations of adults and genitalia of examined species.
