Agrotis villenensis—a new species of Noctuinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) from the southeastern Iberian Peninsula

<i>Agrotisvillenensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is described from the Iberian Peninsula. Differential superficial, genital and genetic (barcode) characters from its closest Iberian and European relative species, <i>Agrotisvestigialis</i> (Hufnagel, 1766), are presented. Morphologically, the new species is best characterized in the male genitalia by the shape of the basal vesica and the presence of a median diverticulum and in the female genitalia by its comparatively long appendix bursae. The barcode of <i>A.villenensis</i> differs from those of related species and is assigned a unique BIN.

Abstract

<i>Agrotisvillenensis</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> is described from the Iberian Peninsula. Differential superficial, genital and genetic (barcode) characters from its closest Iberian and European relative species, <i>Agrotisvestigialis</i> (Hufnagel, 1766), are presented. Morphologically, the new species is best characterized in the male genitalia by the shape of the basal vesica and the presence of a median diverticulum and in the female genitalia by its comparatively long appendix bursae. The barcode of <i>A.villenensis</i> differs from those of related species and is assigned a unique BIN.
