ABSTRACT

Exoasota pursatensis Ko Bae, gen. nov. sp. nov. (Lepidoptera Pyraloidea Crambidae) is described from Indochina (Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar). The new genus Exoasota is assigned to Spilomelinae on the basis of the morphological evidence, including the tympanal organs and genitalia. In addition, we provide comparisons with genera Epiparbattia Caradja (Crambidae, Pyraustinae) and Asota Hübner (Erebidae, Aganainae).
