Abstract
The genus Wittia de Freina, 1980 was described for Bombyx aureola Hbner, [1803] (a junior synonym of Wittia sororcula (Hufnagel, 1766)), which in the modern sense is a paraphyletic taxon containing three groups of species. This study (1) describes a new genus, Prozorovia gen. nov., for three Indian species belonging to the genus Wittia previously; (2) describes the female of Prozorovia kailashi (Singh & Kirti, 2016) comb. nov. for the first time (this species was described based on two males); (3) reports on the first record of P. kailashi comb. nov. from Pakistan; and (4) illustrates the male external morphology and the male genitalia of P. kailashi comb. nov.
