Abstract

The new genus, Vangatinea gen. nov. (type-species: V. sontraensis sp. nov.), is described for three new species of colorful tineid moths from Southeast Asia: V. sontraensis sp. nov. (from coastal north central Vietnam), V. panghapha sp. nov. (from northwestern Thailand), and V. cambodiensis sp. nov. (from southwestern Cambodia). The new genus is tentatively assigned to the tineid subfamily Erechthiinae.
