Lepidoptera forester moth Pollanisus hyacinthus isolatus new species endemic

Abstract

A new species of forester moths, Pollanisus hyacinthus sp. nov., is described from Kangaroo Island, South Australia. It is similar to Pollanisus isolatus Tarmann, 2004 and Pollanisus cyanota (Meyrick, 1886) but differs in several external characters and in the genitalia.
