Leucochlaena labrys, a new species from Crete, Greece (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Xyleninae, Episemini)
A new species of the genus Leucochlaena Hampson, 1906 has been observed in the island of Crete (Greece). After a morphological examination of the habitus of the species, together with the examination of the genitalia and the DNA barcoding performed on a single specimen, we have identified a new species of Leucochlaena which is considered endemic to the island of Crete. We describe here this new species as Leucochlaena labrys sp. n. and we illustrated adults, male and female genitalia.
