Arctia ladakensis is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Otto Bang-Haas in 1927. It is found in Tibet and Xinjiang in China.[1][2]

This species, along with the others of the genus Oroncus, was moved to Arctia as a result of phylogenetic research published by Rönkä et al. in 2016.[3]
