Nudorthodes is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae erected by J. Donald Lafontaine, J. Bruce Walsh and Clifford D. Ferris in 2014.

Species[]

Etymology[]

The generic name refers to the fact that the species in the genus are removed from the other members of the Orthodes-group of genera by the lack of hairs on the surface of the eye. It is derived from Latin nudus (meaning bare) plus the genus name Orthodes.[1]
