Moore, 1888

Rhagoba is an oriental genus of moths of the family Crambidae described by Frederic Moore in 1888.[1][2] Species of the genus resemble those of Pygospila, but can be told apart by genital differences in both sexes and by a stronger metallic blue reflection on the thorax.[3] Species are known only from Asia, where they have been recorded from China, Vietnam, Laos, India, Nepal and Bhutan.[3]
