Abstract

The type of Lasiocampa decolorata (KLUG, 1830), collected in 1820, was successfully barcoded to generate a 658bp COI-fragment after 194 years. The resulting molecular data allowed the description of two closely related species from Morocco: Lasiocampa hannae SPEIDEL, MOOSER &WITT sp. n. from the Anti Atlas and Lasiocampa editae SPEIDEL, MOOSER &WITT sp. n. from the High Atlas.
