Zusammenfassung:The article describes Rugigegat lucyvoronovae Yakovlev & Kozlov sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Cossidae, Zeuzerinae) distributed in the Northern India (Sikhim). The article has nine illustrations. The new species is most close to R. radzha Yakovlev, 2022, from which is differs in a series of characters. In contrast to the new species, the mottled portion on the anal margin of the fore wing in R. radzha does not reach the anal angle of the wing, the gnathos arms are significantly shorter, the valve is noticeably narrowing basally. The world catalog of the genus Rugigegat Schoorl, 1990 is presented. For the first time, we give the description and images of the male and female genitalia of R. nigra. We provide the data on the endemics of the superfamily Cossoidea in the Western Ghats − Sri Lanka and Eastern Himalaya biodiversity hotspots.
