Dodia albertae species group

Includes three species ( Dodia albertae, D. verticalis, D. tarandus) characterized by a forewing pattern of transverse dark and light bands and lines. Male genitalia have a narrow valva with two slender processes at the apex. Apical diverticulum in the vesica with a crest-like row of few spines. All species are clearly in the same clade on the neighbor-joining tree of Dodia species based on sequences of COI fragment, evidence of their monophyly (Fig. 1).
