Odonestis is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae described by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1812.[2] It consists of twenty-two species,[3] which is found in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, China and Japan.[2]

Description

The wingspan is 30–50 mm for males and 50–60 mm for females. The moths fly from May to June and again from August to September depending on the location. Palpi very long and slender. Antennae with shorter branches in female than male. Legs with very minute spurs. Forewings are long with acute apex. Outer margin obliquely rounded. Veins 6 and 7 stalked. Stalk of veins 9 and 10 short. Hindwing with veins 4 and 5 from cell or stalked. Vein 8 curved, and met by a bar from vein 7. The accessory costal veinlets are numerous and prominent.[4]
Ecology

The larvae feed on Prunus, Pirus, Quercus, Tilia, Betula, Alnus, Ulmus, Crataegus, Salix and Rhamnus species.[2]
