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 : 60

Dodia kononenkoi species group

Provisionally established for three species ( Dodia kononenkoi , D. transbaikalensis and D. sikhotensis ) with almost uniform brownish-gray coloration of wings and body. The male genitalia have broad valves with lobed apical processes. Previously, these taxa were considered to be subspecies of a single species, D. kononenkoi Tshistjakov & Lafontaine, 1984 . All species have similar ecological features, inhabiting rocky screes in the upper part of the forest belt and mountain tundra. In the future, more complete molecular genetic data should be used to determine whether these species are monophyletic.
