Dodia is a genus of woolly bear moths in the Erebidae

family. The moths are found in subarctic tundra and taiga
ecosystems. They belong to the subtribe Callimorphina
of tribe Arctiini.[1]

Like most of their closest relatives, they are mid-sized

moths (a few cm/around 1 inch wingspan) which may be
active all day, but avoid direct sunlight. Unlike many
of the Callimorphina, they are inconspicuous and colored a somewhat translucent grey-brown and without
bold markings. They have the typical slender body shape
of other species of their subtribe, and they resemble, at
a casual glance, certain larentiine geometer moths (Geometridae), e.g. the Operophterini, rather than the more
typical Callimorphina. Like in the former, ightless females are known to occur in Dodia.[2]

Dodia diaphana (Eversmann, 1848)
Dodia kononenkoi Tshistjakov & Lafontaine, 1984
