In this article, we describe Radhica ustjuzhanini sp. nov., a new cryptic species from southern Laos and Vietnam. The new species is a sister species to Radhica elisabethae de Lajonquière, 1977 which was described from Sumatra. The sequences of this species are rather distant from topotypes of R. elisabethae from Sumatra (uncorrected COI p-distance > 8%). The new species is dedicated to Petr Y. Ustjuzhanin, a specialist in Pterophoridae and Alucitidae.
