Psectrotarsia is a small New World genus of moths of the family Noctuidae, erected in 1907 by Paul Dognin. [1] With exception of Psectrotarsia flava , species in the genus have pink forewing markings. [1]
Psectrotarsia species are known from the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. [1] The larval host plants of most species are unknown, except for Psectrotarsia hebardi , which is known to feed on richweed. [1]
Following the 2007 revision of the genus by Michael P. Pogue, the genus is considered to contain the following species: [1]
Following the 2007 revision, two species were transferred to Copitarsia : [1]
