Abstract
A new species of Pseudopyrochroa Pic, 1906, P. reni Pan & Young, n. sp., is described from the western region of Mt. Qinling, China. Larvae, pupae, and adults were associated using molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mtDNA COI barcode sequences. All three stages are described and illustrated. Additionally, preliminary phylogenetic relationships among five genera and 14 species of Pyrochroidae, including Pseudopyrochroa, are hypothesized based on COI sequence data. The fauna of Pyrochroidae from the Mt. Qinling biodiversity conservation area is discussed.
