Reassessment of Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov. and its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae, Poecilocampinae)

[EN]: Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov., endemic to Spain, is characterized and elevated to species rank. This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of Poecilocampa alpina (Frey & Wullschlegel, 1874) with insufficient diagnosis based on two male specimens only. Its s...

Descripción
Sumario:[EN]: Poecilocampa navalagamellae Expósito, 2004 stat. nov., endemic to Spain, is characterized and elevated to species rank. This taxon was originally described as a subspecies of Poecilocampa alpina (Frey & Wullschlegel, 1874) with insufficient diagnosis based on two male specimens only. Its southern populations are described as Poecilocampa navalagamellae turdetana ssp. nov. Notes on external morphology of the imago, genitalia, chorionic structure of the egg, habitat and host plant are presented herein, as well as ab ovo breeding results of P.n. turdetana. An actualised distribution map is provided. According to the results obtained from the study of mitochondrial DNA barcoding, P. navalagamellae belongs to a lineage well differentiated from the rest of the European Poecilocampa Stephens, 1828 taxa. It also differs from these in the wing pattern, the male genitalia, the chorionic structure of the egg and the larval external traits.
