ABSTRACT. In this paper, we describe Bombyx pseudohuttoni sp.n., a new species from Laos and Vietnam. This species is closely related to Bombyx incomposita (van Eecke, 1929) (Sundaland) and Bombyx huttoni Westwood, 1847. The latter species was described from India, and its distribution is probably limited by India, China, Nepal, Bhutan, and northern Thailand. The previous records of B. huttoni from Vietnam belong to the new species. The uncorrected COI p-distance between these taxa is 3.37–3.85%, that is comparable with distances between other species of the genus.
KEY WORDS: Annamese Mountains, biodiversity hotspots, cryptic species, DNA barcoding.
