Abstract

A new genus Edwardia gen. nov. with the type species Photodotis aliena M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2020 was described from Borneo. A new combination Edwardia aliena (M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2020) comb. nov. was proposed. Genitals of the new genus have one rhomboid signum; signums of the species from Photodotis Meyrick genus are numerous, spine-shaped, forming a transverse ring on the pouch. A previously unknown female of Photodotis decolorata M. Omelko et N. Omelko, 2020 was described, and changes were made to the description of the external characters of this species, taking into account the new material. Photodotis strigosa sp. nov. species is similar to Ph. decolorata by structure of male genitalia, but differs in the shape of the cucullus, having a large denticle in front of the apical part.
