Rediscovery of Anacampsis lupinella Busck (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in Ontario

2020 
We rediscovered populations of Anacampsis lupinella Busck (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in three remnant populations of sundial lupines (Lupinus perennis L. (Fabaceae)) in southern Ontario. Here we provide a detailed description of the species and illustrate it with figures of adult moths and both male and female genitalia. Photographs of the moths taken recently in High Park, Toronto, match photos of the type specimen that was collected at High Park in 1901. The male genitalia of contemporary males match those of a male from the original series of specimens collected in Toronto. CO1DNA barcodes of eight contemporary specimens were very similar to the CO1barcode recovered from a specimen from the original series. The CO1sequences demonstrated slight genetic differentiation of the three Ontario populations, but collectively were clearly delimited from the seven congeneric species known from Ontario.
