Integrative review of Xylomoia strix, X. retinax and X. stangelmaieri (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae, Xyleninae, Apameini)
The relationship of <i>Xylomoiastrix</i> Mikkola, 1980; <i>Xylomoiaretinax</i> Mikkola, 1998; and <i>Xylomoiastangelmaieri</i> Mikkola, 1998 is reconsidered based on 59 genitalia slides (37 males and 22 females) and 40 barcodes of adults collected from the type localities and areas in-between. Due to lack of stable morphologic differences, apart from the wing coloration of <i>X.retinax</i>, and low genetic distance between the three, they are considered as three subspecies of <i>X.strix</i>: the nominotypical one <i>X.strixstangelmaieri</i> <b>stat. nov.</b> and <i>X.strixretinax</i> <b>stat. nov.</b> Included are photographs of all specimens covering 37 adults, and 28 male and 18 female genitalia, as well as a phylogenetic tree and a map showing collecting localities.
