Laelia is a genus of tussock moths in the family Erebidae. The genus was described by Stephens in 1828. Species are well distributed throughout Europe, Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Java.

Description[]

They are nocturnal moths. Palpi long and porrect (extending forward) with heavily hairy second joint and long third joint. Antennae with long branches in males and short in females. Forewings are more produced than in Aroa, where the wing membrane forms a slight concavity on the ventral side beyond the upper angle of cell. Neuration is similar.[1]
