Application of two molecular approaches (use of sex attractants and DNA barcoding) allowed to rediscover Zygaenoprocris eberti (Alberti, 1968) (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae, Procridinae), hitherto known only from the female holotype
The hitherto unknown males of Zygaenoprocris ( Zygaenoprocris) eberti (Alberti, 1968) were attracted by sex pheromones in Afghanistan. Conspecificity with the female holotype was confirmed by using DNA barcoding. A description of the male and data on the habitat of this species are provided. A key t...

Zusammenfassung: | The hitherto unknown males of Zygaenoprocris ( Zygaenoprocris) eberti (Alberti, 1968) were attracted by sex pheromones in Afghanistan. Conspecificity with the female holotype was confirmed by using DNA barcoding. A description of the male and data on the habitat of this species are provided. A key to the subgenera of the genus Zygaenoprocris Hampson, 1900, and the species of the subgenus Zygaenoprocris Hampson, 1900, is given. |
