Study reveals three new species of Argyresthia, including molecular evidence for distinction.
In this study, three new species of the genus Argyresthia Hübner, [1825], A. (Blastotere) argentilucens Kim & Byun, sp. nov., A. (B.) koreana Kim & Byun, sp. nov., and A. (B.) maculofasciata Kim & Byun, sp. nov. are described from Korea, bringing the total number of Argyresthia species recorded in the country to 19 species. The adult habitus and genitalia of the species are illustrated. The COI barcode sequences are provided for the species, and a neighbor-joining (NJ) tree is used as supplementary evidence to support the distinctiveness of the new species from other Argyresthia species.
