Strangulodonta Becker, 2021. Type species: Stragulodonta stragula (Möschler, 1883) . Möschler, 1883: 342.

Adults. Head: male and female antennae pectinate; antennal tuft absent; third segment of labial palpi long. Thorax: forewing ground color olivaceous; black lunule on discal cell, followed by paler region; postmedial area with double band inner lighter than outer, distal edge wavy. Hindwing dark grey. Abdomen: dark gray, with a band from the second segment to tip. Male terminalia: eighth tergite simple, eight sternite with midplate; SSO reduced; uncus long with a round head (crown shape); socii thin and fang-shaped; juxta squared; costulae present; costa membranous. Aedeagus short, curved and thick, with a blunt apical process.

Diagnosis. The combination of pectinate antennae in both sexes with the lunular mark at end of cell is unique in the New World Notodontidae ( Becker 2021a) . The large and curved arms of the socii as well as the lateral blunt process of the aedeagus help differentiate the genus.
