Abstract

The genus Reisseronia Sieder, 1956 (Lepidoptera, Psychidae, Epichnopteriginae) comprises 18 species, which are usually distributed in a limited number of very small areas in Europe and the Middle East. The genus Reisseronia was first reported in Poland in 2005; after detailed investigations, the Polish populations were described as separate species, namely R. imielinella Malkiewicz, Sobczyk & Larysz, 2013 and R. annae Larysz, 2017. Later, another population of bagworm moths belonging to the genus Reisseronia was found in Komańcza (Bieszczady Mountains). We carried out the first genetic studies of these parthenogenetic species from Poland. Sequence analysis of the DNA barcode region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) revealed slight differences between three Polish populations of the genus Reisseronia.
