Two New Species of the Genus Meleonoma (Lepidoptera, Autostichidae) from China, Revealed by Morphological and Phylogenetic Evidence
Xiaoju Zhu, Xiuxiu Zhu, Shuxia WangMeleonoma belonging to the subfamily Periacminae is one of the most species-rich genus in the family Autostichidae. In this study, we described two new species: M. latizona sp. nov. and M. serrulata sp. nov. A phylogenetic analysis of these and closely related species was conducted based on mitochondrial genes to achieve a better understanding of their taxonomic status of the two new species.
