Karos Goodnight Goodnight, 1944 is the most diverse genus of the family Stygnopsidae. It contains seven micro-endemic species from the Huasteca region in eastern Mexico. In this paper, the new species Karos morronei sp. nov. is described based on the morphology of adults of both sexes. The new species is from Zacualtipán de Ángeles, Hidalgo State, which represents the southernmost record for the genus. Additionally, a reanalysis of the previous morphological phylogeny of the genus using both parsimony and maximum likelihood methods is provided. According to the morphological reanalysis, K. morronei sp. nov. exhibits an autapomorphy (males with femur IV thicker than females) and is the sister group of the clade that includes K. barbarikos, K. hexasetosus, K. monjarazi, K. parvus and K. singularis. Finally, information of barcoding (CO1) is provided for this new species.
卡罗夜蛾属（Karos），1944年被发现，是Stygnopsidae科中种类最为多样的属。它包含来自墨西哥东部瓦斯特卡地区的7个微型特有物种。在本文中，基于两性成虫的形态特征，描述了新物种卡罗·莫罗内夜蛾（Karos morronei sp. nov.）。该新物种来自伊达尔戈州的萨夸尔蒂潘·德·安赫莱斯，这是该属最南端的记录。此外，还使用简约法和最大似然法对该属之前的形态系统发育进行了重新分析。根据形态学重新分析，卡罗·莫罗内夜蛾新物种具有一个独征（雄性第四股骨比雌性粗），并且是包括巴氏卡罗夜蛾（K. barbarikos）、六刚毛卡罗夜蛾（K. hexasetosus）、蒙哈拉齐卡罗夜蛾（K. monjarazi）、小卡罗夜蛾（K. parvus）和奇异卡罗夜蛾（K. singularis）在内的进化枝的姐妹群。最后，提供了该新物种的条形码（CO1）信息。
