Abstract

The new species Xanthorhoe dudkoi is described. This species is distinguished by the structure of the valval costa, the presence of 5–7 spines at the base of the aedeagal vesica in the male, and by a large oval-trapezoid ostium and a massive, well-chitinized ductus bursae in the female. The new species is similar to Odontorhoe tauaria Staudinger, 1822 in the color and pattern of wings. The type material of the new species is deposited at the Institute of Animal Systematics and Ecology (Novosibirsk, Russia) and in the private collection of V.V. Ivonin (Novosibirsk, Russia).
