New species is most similar to V. umovii (Eversmann, 1846) and V. patula (Püngeler, 1907) but differs in both external and genital characteristics. This is the first record of the genus Victrix in the Far East.

Keywords: Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Bryophilinae, Victrix, Poliobrya, new species, Russian Far East.
