Following a large survey of the Neotropical Arctiinae using the DNA barcodes technique (COI gene sequencing), Echeta trinotata Reich, 1933 was found to be in fact a complex of three cryptic highly genetically divergent species. The two new species are described as Echeta apatela sp. nov. from the foothills of the Andean Cordillera and Echeta rhodop...

In the present study, specimens of Dendrolimus superans collected from South Korea suggest the presence of D. sibiricus, instead of D. superans. Comparisons of the wing morphology, female and male genitalia, 3′-end region of the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene sequence, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 2 sequence of the Korean specimens with...
Allopatric alpine populations of Phtheochroa frigidana s. lat. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) are reviewed. In addition to traditional diagnostic characters of external morphology, the genitalia structures of everted vesicae in male genitalia and DNA barcodes are analysed. This new approach supports the existence of five rather than two species in Euro...
Five new Coleophora species belonging to the C. poecilella species group are described: C. mirleftensis Tabell, sp. nov. from Morocco, C. embaensis Tabell, sp. nov. and C. charynensis Tabell, sp. nov. from Kazakhstan, C. nupponeni Tabell, sp. nov. from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, and C. tugaicola Tabell, sp. nov. from Tajikistan. The male genitalia...
Genus Eumasia Chrétien in Psychidae was newly recognized from Korea with an unrecorded species, E. muscella Saigusa and Sugimoto. Larva and male genitalia of the species were described, and DNA barcode for precise identification of the species was also provided. © 2018 National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA)
Integrative taxonomic study of three species of the genus Tylostega revealed that the genetic distances of the COI gene among the tested species was relatively large (3.27–7.60%). The Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) system performed better than the Barcode Index Number (BIN) in discriminating closely related species. This work provides a mol...

... Ten years ago, Thibaud Decaëns had the opportunity to collect in several spots located in the lower Amazon area (around Belém or near the Marañhao/Parà border). This material proved to be highly endemic and has led to the description of several new species (see Laguerre 2016Laguerre , 2017Laguerre , 2018Laguerre and 2019. Unfortunately this area is heavily influenced by forest fragmentation and habitat loss, contributing to large biodiversity loss and silent Centinelan extinctions. ...
The genus Robinsonia Grote, 1866 is partially reviewed following a large DNA barcode campaign. In the Robinsonia
praphoea Dognin, 1906 group three new species are described: R. simulans sp. n. from French Guiana, up to now
confused with R. praphoea itself and then R. decaensi sp. n. and R. maranhensis sp. n. both from the lower Amazon.
R. drechseli sp. n. is described from Paraguay and R. inexpectata sp. n., a species close to R. mera (Schaus, 1910) from
Costa Rica, is described as new from Peru and Bolivia. Finally the full species status is confirmed for R. flavicorpus
Dognin, 1910 which is found to be differentiable from R. marginata Rothschild, 1909. All types are figured along with
the male genitalia for most and some female genitalia for all studied species.
... This group of moths is known for the bright coloration and adult mimicry of wasps, cockroaches, and lycid beetles, and unpalatable moths and butterflies of some species (Zaspel et al 2014). In South America, several new species of tiger moths have been described in the past 5 years (Beccacece & Vincent 2014, Laguerre 2014a, b, Vincent 2014, Vincent & Laguerre 2014, Gibeaux 2015, Laguerre 2015, Moraes & Duarte 2015, Cerda 2016, Gibeaux 2016a, b, c, Grados & Ramírez 2016, Laguerre 2016, Laguerre & Vincent 2016, Pinheiro 2016a, b, Pinheiro & Duarte 2016, Beccacece 2017, Laguerre 2017. The process of describing new species is significantly important because it is the basis for any biodiversity-related and conservation research (Ferro & Diniz 2008). ...
A taxonomical rearrangement of “Aemilia” pagana species-group is proposed: Leucanopsis pagana (Schaus in Proc Zool Soc London 1894:225–243, 1894) comb. nov. and L. ninae (Orfila in Rev Soc Entomol Argent 21:67–70, 1959) comb. nov. A new endemic species from Pampa de Achala, Córdoba, Argentina, closer to both species, is described: Leucanopsis navarroi sp. nov. These three species can be recognized because the color pattern is the darkest among species of Leucanopsis. Characteristics of male genitalia suggest the nomenclatural rearrangement proposed. Leucanopsis pagana comb. nov. has a wide distribution from the center of Brazil to northeastern Argentina, including southern Paraguay. The known distribution and geospatial analysis suggest that this species is not in danger. Leucanopsis ninae comb. nov. is restricted to only one known locality (Villa Gesell, Buenos Aires). The restricted known distribution, the different land use practices, and geospatial analysis suggest that this species could be endangered. Leucanopsis navarroi sp. nov. is endemic to the high plateau present in the center of Argentina called Pampa de Achala. The known distribution and geospatial analysis suggest that this species could be endangered. Further studies are necessary to determine effectively the conservation status of these three species.
A new genus, Oodoptera laguerre n. gen., is created to accommodate a new species collected in French Guiana: Oodoptera guianensis laguerre
n. sp. A new species from the lower Amazon is described within the genus Phaeomolis: Phaeomolis acailandia laguerre n. sp., and two new species
from S.-E. brazil are described within the genus Hypercompe: Hypercompe bahiaensis laguerre n. sp. and Hypercompe tirolensis laguerre n. sp.
Finally, Epidesma similis (rothschild, 1912), presently classified within the Ctenuchina sub-tribe, is transferred to the Phaegopterina sub-tribe within
a new genus: Aphymolis laguerre n. gen.
