Rhodophaea madaricola sp. nov. from the mountains of the Greek island Crete, with comments on Rhodophaea Guenée, 1845 and related genera (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Slagsvold, Per Kristian, Berggren, Kai, Voith, Reidar J. D. I., Johannessen, Olve D. M., Aarvik, Leif (2026): Rhodophaea madaricola sp. nov. from the mountains of the Greek island Crete, with comments on Rhodophaea Guenée, 1845 and related genera (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). Nota Lepidopterologica 49: 171-193, DOI: 10.3897/nl.49.206374 Abstract.

Rhodophaea madaricola Slagsvold, Berggren & Voith, sp. nov. from Greece, Crete, is described based on morphology of the male and female genitalia, external characters and DNA barcodes. It is compared with and distinguished from the closely related and widespread species R. formosa (Haworth, 1811). The relationship of Rhodophaea to Sciota Hulst, 1888, Nephopterix Hübner, [1825] and other Phycitini taxa is briefly explored, including a larger analysis of publicly available DNA barcodes.
