Description

A new Eupithecia species (Lepidoptera: Geometridae, Larentiinae), E. conquesta Tabell & Junnilainen is described from Cyprus. We illustrate the adults, the male and female genitalia of the new species, and those are compared against the closely related species E. phoeniceata (Rambur, 1834) and E. oxycedrata (Rambur, 1833). The genetic distance, based on DNA barcodes, of the new species are compared with those of all other Eupitheciini on the BOLD database. After our study, altogether 13 Eupithecia species are known from Cyprus.
