			<p>The recent description of <italic>Stygioides italica</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev, 2016</xref> (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) asked for a revision of the scarce records available for Italy concerning <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> (HerrichSchäffer, 1851) (= <italic>tricolor</italic> auct. nec Lederer, 1858) (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">Pinzari &amp; Pinzari, 2020</xref>).</p>
			<p>First Italian records are very old (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">Curò, 1890</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">Ragusa, 1893</xref>), followed by other data some of which very recent (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">Turati, 1919</xref>; Dannehl, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">1927a</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">b</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">c</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">d</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">Daniel, 1954-55</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">de Freina &amp; Witt, 1990</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">Bertaccini et al. 1997</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">Parenzan &amp; Porcelli, 2006</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">Grassi et al. 2007</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">Cabella &amp; Fiori, 2010</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">Pinzari &amp; Pinzari, 2023</xref>).</p>
			<p>The careful examination of a male collected on the 1<sup>st</sup> of July 2002 in the Abruzzo region, around Campo Felice, L’Aquila, at 1300 m a.s.l., and initially identified as <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">Grassi et al. 2007</xref>), led to the description of a new species, <italic>Stygioides italica</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev, 2016</xref>. As consequence, all previous Italian records of <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> need to be revised to ascertain whether both species are present in Italy or not. Our research, supported by molecular analyses, indicate the presence of one species only (<italic>Stygioides italica</italic>). However, further investigation is needed to investigate the presence in Sicily on the Madonie Mountains (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">Ragusa, 1893</xref>) due to data uncertainty and isolation of island populations.</p>
			<p>Italian distribution of <italic>Stygioides italica</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev, 2016</xref> (nec <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> Herrich-Schäffer, 1851 = <italic>tricolor</italic> auct. nec Lederer, 1858) was largely documented in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev (2016)</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">Pinzari &amp; Pinzari (2020)</xref>, here updated by one record in Apulia (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">Rolli, 2023</xref>), several specimens from Latium (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">Pinzari &amp; Pinzari, 2023</xref>), and one more original record.</p>

			<p>The field collecting was carried out on the South slope of the Mount Pollino, on a dry rocky prairie (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf1">Figures 1-2</xref>). Snow melting was incomplete and spring flowering just started. During collecting day there were sunny sky, no wind, and warm temperatures (16-18ºC).</p>

Bertaccini) were submitted to molecular barcoding analysis to explore intra-specific genetic diversity. The standard protocol of the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding (CCDB) was used for sequencing the barcode fragment (658bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit 1 (COI 5’), which is accepted as a standard marker for the identification of most animals. LepF1 and LepR1 were the primers used for PCR and sequencing (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">Hajibabaei et al. 2006</xref>). Sequences are deposited in the Barcode of Life DataSystems (BOLD), accessible at www.boldsystems.org in the public dataset DS-STYGIOID (doi: https://dx.doi.org/10.5883/DS-STYGIOID).</p>
			<p>Comparisons of male genitalia of <italic>S. italica</italic> with its nearest taxa were carried out by using images available in<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10"> de Freina &amp; Witt (1990)</xref> for <italic>S. colchica</italic> and in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">Saldaitis et al.

			<title><bold>Results and Discussions</bold></title>
			<p>Original record: Mount Pollino, Cosenza, Italy, 2050 m a.s.l., 1 ♀, 8-VI-2022.</p>
			<p>The female was found on the South slope of the Mount Pollino, on a dry rocky prairie (Figures 1- 2). We observed very scarce butterflies and small geometrids such as several <italic>Cleta filacearia</italic> (HerrichSchäffer, [1847]) and rare <italic>Lythria cruentaria</italic> (Hufnagel, 1767). At 13:30 a specimen supposedly belonging to the Psychidae family was observed flying frenetically on the ground, jumping from one flower to the next. Its correct identification as a specimen of <italic>Stygioides</italic>, very rare in Italy, was early recognized and here specifically identified as <italic>Stygioides italica</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev, 2016</xref>.</p>
			<p>To the best of our knowledge, this is the record at the highest altitude for this species. Previously a female was found on the Montalto, Aspromonte Mountains, at 1700 metres above the sea level (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">Bertaccini et al. 1997</xref>).</p>
			<p><italic>Stygioides italica</italic> was found in very different habitats despite the paucity of records, being collected from lowland to more than 2000 metres of altitude. Larval foodplants are unknown, but we can suppose it feeds on some Boraginaceae such as <italic>Echium and Cynoglossum</italic> like the congeneric <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">Korb, 1910)</xref>.</p>
			<p><italic>Stygioides italica</italic> seems to be an Italian endemic, whilst <italic>Stygioides colchica</italic> is known from Greece (Peloponnese peninsula), SW Russia, Ukraine (Crimea, Zaporozhskaya Reg.) Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Armenia, and Iran (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">Alipanah et al. 2021</xref>).</p>
			<p>DNA barcoding analyses recovered a full sequence of 658bp for the Pollino and one of the Vallemare specimens and a shorter sequence of 627bp for the second specimen from Vallemare and of 345bp for the Aranova specimen as follows.</p>

			<p>Specimens submitted to DNA barcoding analysis were found in very different habitats ranging from 50 to 2050 m of altitude. The completely uniform morphology of adults corresponds to a genetic difference (BOLD Barcode Gap Analysis) comprised between the 0.97% of the Pollino-Vallemare pair and the 1.76% of the Vallemare-Aranova pair. The two sequences from Vallemare specimens were identical. The short length of the sequence recovered for the Aranova specimen (345bp) suggest caution in the interpretation of data.</p>
			<p>Comparisons of male genitalia with available iconography of nearest taxa showed a clear affinity of <italic>S. italica</italic> with <italic>S. colchica dercetis</italic> that should be better evaluated when molecular data will be available also for <italic>S. colchica colchica</italic> and <italic>S. colchica dercetis</italic>.</p>
			<p>Lastly, in addition to the adult habitus of <italic>Stygioides italica</italic> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf1">Figures 4-6</xref>), some important distinctive characters, such as the antennas (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf1">Figures 3a-c</xref>), the scales that cover the upper surface of the female forewings (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf2">Figures 7-9</xref>) and the male genitalia of nearest species (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="gf2">Figures 10-12</xref>), were shown.</p>

			<title><bold>Conclusions</bold></title>
			<p><italic>Stygioides italica</italic> Mazzei &amp; Yakovlev, was recorded after its description for few localities of Central and South Italy, but comparisons with the congeneric <italic>S. colchica</italic> are lacking. In this paper we provided original distribution data, the first molecular data for <italic>S. italica</italic>, and contributed to the knowledge of some distinctive characters such as antennae, scales covering forewings of females, and male genitalia of nearest species. The availability of full DNA barcode sequence for all taxa can strongly contribute in the future to investigate the interspecific relationships within the genus <italic>Stygioides</italic>.</p>
