Abstract

The complex formed by the species Dichomeris rasilella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) is studied, elevating Uliaria rasilella occidentella Zerny, 1927 to a specific category as Dichomeris occidentella (Zerny, 1927) and describing the new species Dichomeris merceae Gastón, Ylla, Macià & Bau, sp. n., for Spain. Its proximity to Dichomeris rasilella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854) is established analyzing the differences observed between the three species and defining their respective positions in the phylogenetic tree.
