Abstract

The genus Noctuiseius Prasad is synonymized with Otopheidomenis Treat. Two new species, Otopheidomenis kayosiekeri and Otopheidomenis pholusis, are described and illustrated. O. kayosiekeri is known from Honduras, Panama Canal Zone, and Peru from the sphingid moths Pachylia darceta, P. resumens, and Triptogon lugubris. O. pholusis is known from Bolivia and Honduras from the sphingid moths Pholus sp., P. anchemolis, and P. obliquus. A key to the known species of Otopheidomenis is included.
