We use analysis of mitochondrial DNA barcodes in combination with published data on morphology to rearrange the taxonomy of two arctic species, Gynaephora groenlandica and G. rossii. We demonstrate that (1) the taxon lugens Kozhanchikov, 1948 originally described as a distinct species is a subspecies of Gynaephora rossii, and (2) the taxon kusnezovi Lukhtanov et Khruliova, 1989 originally described as a distinct species in the genus Dicallomera is a subspecies of Gynaephora groenlandica. We also provide the first evidence for the occurrence of G. groenlandica in the Palearctic region (Wrangel Island).
我们结合已发表的形态学数据，利用线粒体DNA条形码分析，对两种北极物种——格陵兰蛾（Gynaephora groenlandica）和罗斯蛾（G. rossii）的分类进行重新梳理。我们证明：（1）1948年最初被描述为一个独立物种的卢氏蛾（Gynaephora lugens Kozhanchikov）是罗斯蛾的一个亚种；（2）1989年最初被描述为双斑蛾属（Dicallomera）一个独立物种的库氏蛾（Gynaephora kusnezovi Lukhtanov et Khruliova）是格陵兰蛾的一个亚种。我们还首次提供了格陵兰蛾在古北区（弗兰格尔岛）出现的证据。
