Arctia gurkoi is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Vladimir Viktorovitch Dubatolov in 2004. It is found in Pakistan (Azad Kashmir) and possibly Xinjiang, China.[1]

The species of the genus Oroncus, including this one, were moved to Arctia as a result of phylogenetic research published by Rönkä et al. in 2016.[2]
