Oedemasia leptinoides, the black-blotched schizura or black-blotched prominent, is a species of moth in the family Notodontidae (the prominents).[1] It was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1864 and is found in North America.

The MONA or Hodges number for Oedemasia leptinoides is 8011.[2] thumb

This species was formerly a member of the genus Schizura, but was transferred to Oedemasia as a result of research published in 2021.[3] Caterpillars engage in girdling, selectively damaging the area near the stem of the host plant. Host plants for O. leptinoides include Carya texana and Carya illinoensis. [4]
