Abstract

Species of the genus Dichopygina Vilkamaa, Hippa & Komarova, 2004 has been morphologically cryptic. In this paper, eight species of the genus were clearly defined by DNA barcodes. Based on both molecular and morphological evidences, D. bernhardi Vilkamaa, Hippa & Komarova, 2004, stat. rev. is separated from D. perfecta (Pettey, 1918); a closely allied new species, D. tibetana Leng, Heller & Huang, sp. nov., is described from Tibet, China. Detailed descriptions and figures of the two species are presented.
