Abstract

The genus Donda Moore, 1882 (Noctuidae: Pantheinae) consists of six species of which the taxonomic status of two species are doubtful. In the present study, a new species of the genus, viz. Donda unispinosa Bandyopadhyay, Raha & Chandra sp. nov. is described from the Indian Himalayas with a detailed description of male genitalia structure. This brings the legitimate species number to five. A key based on the morphology and male genitalia of all the known species of the genus is also provided here for future confirmation of species.
