Euphlyctina is a small genus in the family Limacodidae , with only two known species: E. phaeopasta (Hampson, 1906) and E. butvilai Solovyev & Saldaitis, 2021. The type species E. phaeopasta was transferred from the genus Araeogyia Hampson, 1893 by Hering (1931), and known only from north India; the second species was discovered in Zhejiang and Yunnan provinces of China ( Hampson 1906; Hering 1931; Solovyev and Saldaitis 2021). In 2021, both sexes of E. phaeopasta were found in southeastern Xizang; a female of the genus is described below for the first time.
