Title :

A peculiar new species of Nyodes Laporte, 1970 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract :

A new, externally atypical Nyodes is described from Equatorial Africa: Nyodes paludicola sp. nov. The new species is compared to the superficially most similar Nyodes steelei Laporte, 1971, and N. punctatoides Laporte, 1973, with the closest genital morphology. The new species is associated with wetland habitats and is widely distributed in West, Central and East Africa. Genetic divergence between the geographically distant populations has been assessed based on mtDNA COI barcodes.
