A new species, Conogethes sahyadriensis sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), feeding on cardamom, is described from India. The species status is supported by diagnostic morphology as well as by genetic data. A phylogenetic analysis based on the publicly available Conogethes COI barcode sequences finds C. sahyadriensis as sister to C. pluto, and it further reveals a number of clades that potentially represent additional undescribed species.The new species is delineated from closely related and superficially similar species of Conogethes.
一种以小豆蔻为食的新物种——萨哈德里谷螟（Conogethes sahyadriensis sp. nov.）（鳞翅目：草螟科）在印度被描述。该物种的地位得到了诊断形态学以及遗传数据的支持。基于公开可用的谷螟属细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）条形码序列进行的系统发育分析发现，萨哈德里谷螟是冥谷螟（Conogethes pluto）的姐妹种，并且进一步揭示了一些可能代表其他未描述物种的进化枝。该新物种与谷螟属关系密切且外观相似的物种相区分。
