Clethrogyna aurolimbata is a species of moth of the family Erebidae first described by Achille Guenée in 1835.[1] It is found in the Pyrenees and on the Iberian Peninsula. The larvae feed on Genista species, including Genista purgans.[2] This species has commonly been placed in the genus Orgyia but molecular analyses support the genus Clethrogyna as a separate lineage.[3]
