Ocnogyna is a genus of moths in the family Erebidae from western Eurasia. The genus was erected by Julius Lederer in 1853. One aberrant species, Ocnogyna parasita , has females with non-functional wings, and because of this was formerly placed in its own genus Somatrichia, but is now in Ocnogyna. [1]
