Description
A new species Neurocossus albuquerci sp. nov. of the rare poorly studied oriental genus Neurocossus Yakovlev, 2011 (Cossidae: Cossinae) is described from India. The new species clearly differs from all known species of the genus in the very small size (fore wing length 9 mm), poorly developed reticulate pattern on fore wing and very wide uncus with semicircular apex. The article also contains an illustrated catalogue of the genus Neurocossus.
