Underestimated cryptic diversity in the Caryocolum tricolorella species complex (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae)
The taxonomy of the Caryocolum tricolorella species complex, an informal subsection of the diverse Caryocolum interalbicella species group, is revised and four species are separated from DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) gene and adult morphology: C. tricolorella...

| Summary: | The taxonomy of the
Caryocolum tricolorella
species complex, an informal subsection of the diverse
Caryocolum interalbicella
species group, is revised and four species are separated from DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) gene and adult morphology:
C. tricolorella
(Haworth, 1812),
C. fibigerium
Huemer, 1988,
C. herwigvanstaai
sp. nov.
, and
C. olekarsholti
sp. nov.
These species show a vicariant distribution pattern, with
C. tricolorella
widely distributed in Central and Northern Europe,
C. fibigerium
restricted to the Iberian Peninsula and southern France,
C. herwigvanstaai
sp. nov.
to the Italian Peninsula, and
C. olekarsholti
sp. nov.
to the Balkans. All species are described in detail, and the adults and genitalia of both sexes are illustrated. |
