Monopis jussii Kaila, Mutanen, Huemer, Karsholt & Autto, sp. nov. (Lepidoptera, Tineidae) is described as a new species. It is closely related to the widespread and common M. laevigella ([Denis & Schiffermül-ler], 1775), but differs in its distinct COI DNA barcode sequences, four examined nuclear loci as well as details in forewing coloration and pattern. Most reared specimens of M. jussii have emerged from the nest remnants of the Boreal owl (Aegolius funereus (Linnaeus, 1758)), but also nests of the Ural owl (Strix uralensis Pallas, 1771) and the Great tit (Parus major Linnaeus, 1758) have been observed as suit-able habitats. Based on the present knowledge, the new species has a boreo-montane distribution as it is recorded only from northern Europe and the Alps. Several extensive rearing experiments from Strix spp. nest remnants from southern Finland did not produce any M. jussii, but thousands of M. laevigella, sug-gesting that the species is lacking in the area or, more unlikely, that the nest of these owl species do not serve as good habitat for the new species. This unexpected species discovery highlights, once again, the usefulness of DNA barcoding in revealing the cryptic layers of biodiversity. To serve stability we select a neotype for Tinea laevigella [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, and discuss the complicated synonymy and nomenclature of this species.

Funding Information:
We are grateful to Leif Aarvik, Reinhard Gaedike, Peter Buchner, Bob Heckford, and Juhani It?mies for providing information and help with many kinds of matters during the preparation of this study. DNA barcoding was conducted at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, to whose staff we are grateful for their continuous support. Thomas Pape, Natural History Museum of Denmark, kindly advised on questions about no-menclature. Sequencing was financially supported by the Academy of Finland, Kone foundation and Finnish Cultural foundation through grants to the Finnish Barcode of Life project and furthermore supported by the Promotion of Educational Policies, University and Research Department of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol with funds to the projects ?Genetische Artabgrenzung ausgew?hlter arktoalpiner und boreomontaner Tiere S?dtirols? and ?Erstellung einer DNA-Barcode-Bibliothek der Schmetterlinge des zentralen Alpenraumes (S?d-, Nord-und Osttirol)?. Andrew Liston kindly checked the English language. Finally, we are indebted to Bengt ?. Bengtsson, an anonymous reviewer, and Erik J. van Nieukerken for many useful comments on the earlier version of this paper.
