Description of a new species, records of five previously unrecorded species, and rediscovery of a lost species in the genus Ancylis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from China

Abstract

We describe and illustrate Ancylis youmiae, sp. nov., from Heilongjiang (Laoyeling), China, and report five other species of Ancylis from China for the first time: A. melanostigma Kuznetsov, 1970, A. partitana (Christoph, 1881), A. repandana Kennel, 1901, A. uncella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775), and A. upupana (Treitschke, 1835). Ancylis mandarinana (Walsingham, 1900), which has not been documented from China since its original description, is rediscovered. For all species we provide redescriptions, illustrations, and information on geographic distribution and host plants.
