Abstract

A new species, Synanthedon mollis sp. nov. feeding on Elaeagnus mollis, is described from Shanxi, China. This new species is similar to Synanthedon ulmicola Yang & Wang, 1989 in general morphology, but it differs from this latter species by features of the forewing, female and male genitalia.

Neighbor-joining and maximum likelihood analysis both recover Synanthedon mollis sp. nov. as a well-supported monophyletic lineage with a high support value based on COI gene sequences. The key features of this new species are illustrated.
