Dodia albertae, Dyar, 1901

Koshkin, Evgeny S., 2024, A review of the genus Dodia Dyar, 1901 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae, Arctiinae) with description of a new remarkable species from the Russian Far East, Zootaxa 5458 (1), pp. 53-72 : 57

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 ).

FIGURE 1. Neighbor-joining tree of Dodia species based on sequences of COI fragment, computed using the Kimura 2- parameter method. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (1000 replicates) is given for those greater than 50 %. Coscinia cribraria is included as an outgroup representative. Data for samples by their GenBank Accession or BOLD sequence ID are shown in Table 1.
