The little-known species of pyralid moths Atralata melaleucalis (Eversmann, 1852) (= Ennychia melaleucalis (Eversmann, 1852; = Botys graeseri Staudinger, 1892) is transfered from genus Atralata Sylvén, 1947 (subfamily Odontiinae) to genus Loxostege Hübner, [1825], subgenus Boreophila Guenée, 1845 (subfamily Pyraustinae). Loxostege (Boreophila) melaleucalis (Eversmann, 1852) comb. nov. is close by the structure of male and female genitalia to the moths of subgenus Boreophila Guenée, 1845, in particular to Loxostege (Boreophila) ephippialis (Zetterstedt, 1839). The characters in common are: the morphology of uncus, valva and edeagus in male genitalia; long spirally curved ductus, appendix bursae and large rhomboid signum in female genitalia. Loxostege melaleucalis (Eversmann, 1852) is recorded at the Far East for the first time.
