Psectrotarsia is a small New World genus of moths of the family Noctuidae, erected in 1907 by Paul Dognin. [1] With exception of Psectrotarsia flava, species in the genus have pink forewing markings. [1]
Psectrotarsia species are known from the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. [1] The larval host plants of most species are unknown, except for Psectrotarsia hebardi, which is known to feed on richweed. [1]
Following the 2007 revision of the genus by Michael P. Pogue, the genus is considered to contain the following species: [1]
- Psectrotarsia euposis (Dyar, 1912) - Mexico
- Psectrotarsia flava Dognin, 1907 - Peru - type species
- Psectrotarsia hebardi (Skinner, 1917) - United States (New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia)
- Psectrotarsia rhodophora (Hampson, 1910) - Guatemala
- Psectrotarsia suavis (H. Edwards, 1884) - United States, Mexico
Following the 2007 revision, two species were transferred to Copitarsia: [1]
- Psectrotarsia fuscirena (now Copitarsia fuscirena)
- Psectrotarsia tamsi (now Copitarsia tamsi)
- ^ a simultaneous junior homonym and junior synonym [1]
