<i>Agrotisvillenensis</i>-a new species of Noctuinae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) from the southeastern Iberian Peninsula.

ABSTRACT: Agrotisvillenensis sp. nov. is described from the Iberian Peninsula. Differential superficial, genital and genetic (barcode) characters from its closest Iberian and European relative species, Agrotisvestigialis (Hufnagel, 1766), are presented. Morphologically, the new species is best characterized in the male genitalia by the shape of the basal vesica and the presence of a median diverticulum and in the female genitalia by its comparatively long appendix bursae. The barcode of A.villenensis differs from those of related species and is assigned a unique BIN.
