Rhynchodina

Rhynchodina is a monotypic genus of noctuoid moths in the Erebidae family.

Rhynchodina molybdota (Hampson, 1926) is the only one species in the genus. It can be found in Myanmar, Borneo and Sumatra. It is uncommon in lowland and hill forests. The species is characterized by significant sexual dimorphism with males having a prominent, dorsally directed fringe along the forewing costa that continues from the midpoint of the costa into the wing in a crescent shaped fold.
