Zenodoxus sidalceae

Engelhardt, 1946

Zenodoxus sidalceae is a clearwing moth in the Sesiidae, described by Engelhardt in 1946. The epithet 'sidalceae' suggests a likely association with plants in the Sidalcea (mallow family, Malvaceae), though this relationship requires confirmation. As a member of the Tinthiinae , it belongs to a group of sesiid often characterized by -mimicking appearance and activity. The species is poorly known, with limited observational records.
