Creators

Description

Scopula drenowskii Sterneck, 1941, stat. n. is raised from the synonymy of Scopula decorata to species rank, based on differences in the male genitalia correlated to a considerable genetical distance in the DNA barcode region (COI). The 'new' species is known so far from Bulgaria and Turkey.
