Unveiling cryptic diversity: integrative taxonomy discovers eight new species of moths and exposes biodiversity shortfalls in a Neotropical region

Abstract The genus Eois Hübner (Geometridae: Larentiinae) is a highly diverse Neotropical lineage comprising 257 valid species, yet it has never been comprehensively revised. Previous studies indicate that wing polymorphism in several nominal taxa hides potential cryptic species, a pattern supported...
