Dicallomera pumila is a little seen species of moth of the family Erebidae found in mountains in Kazakhstan and in the southern Urals.

These type specimens were transported to Germany and are now in the Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt Universität in Berlin.

[1] In 1950, based on photographs of the type specimens in Berlin, Igor Vasilii Kozhanchikov moved the species to the genus Gynaephora in his work on the Orgyidae moths of the Soviet Union, having perceived a spur on the 5th tibia, which he deemed characteristic for that genus, which he further expanded with what he thought was a new Siberian species, G. lugens.

It was eventually grouped with a number of high altitude mountain species from the Central Asian parts of the Soviet Union, the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau and the Himalayas in the subgenus Dasorgyia,[1] such as by Karel Spitzer in his 1984 review of the genus Gynaephora.

[2] Tatyana A. Trofimova found a caterpillar in the southern Urals, which she raised into a male moth and eventually identified as a specimen of this species.
