Abstract

The genus Pluma, gen. nov. is established to accommodate two new species of limacodid moths, P. shuni sp. nov. and P. yuensis sp. nov., from South China. Based on morphological and molecular characters, the species cannot be placed in any existing genus and therefore they placed in the newly erected one. The new taxa are supported by morphological characters and DNA barcode data. Male adults, including wing venation and genitalia, are illustrated, along with a barcode-based tree.
