Abstract The genus Pelecystola Meyrick, 1920 and the species Pelecystola strigosa (Moore, 1888) are newly recorded from China, and Pelecystola peculiarissp. nov. is described as new to science. Adults, head, venation, and genitalia of the two species are illustrated. A molecular phylogenetic analysis is presented to ascertain the generic affiliation of the new species. Forty-four species of 38 genera in Tineidae are analyzed using maximum likelihood methods based on one mitochondrial (COI) and…

First report of the old world genus Pelecystola in North America, with description of a new species (Lepidoptera, Tineidae)

The genus Pelecystola, which was previously represented by six widely scattered species known only from the Palearctic, Indomalayan, and Ethiopian regions, is reported for the western hemisphere, with a new species found to occur rather commonly over much of eastern North America.

A phylogeny for the Tineoidea (Lepidoptera)

The Tineoidea, long considered a paraphyletic group, is re-examined using phylogenetic methods and shown to consist of two lineages; the "tineoid" lineage includes the Tineidae, Eriocottidae, Acrolophidae and Psychidae and the "gracillarioid", which includes the Bucculatricidae, Gracillariidae and Roeslerstammiidae.

It is suggested that wg will be a useful source of characters for phylogenetic studies of butterflies, and perhaps other insect taxa, with divergence times up to 60 million years ago.

Identifying spiders through DNA barcodes

This study demonstrates that sequence diversity in a standard segment of the mitochondrial gene coding for cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) is highly effective in discriminating spider species and establishes the potential of COI as a rapid and accurate identification tool for biodiversity surveys of spiders.
