Kidokuga

Kidokuga is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was erected by Yasunori Kishida in 2010. It is considered a synonym of the related genus Euproctis by some authors, but recognized as valid by others (e.g.[1]), and supported as distinct in molecular phylogenetic studies.[2]
