A New Species of Holochroa Hulst (Geometridae: Ennominae) from the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico.

A new species of Holochroa from the mountains of Hidalgo, Mexico is described and illustrated. Holochroa encina Garzón-Orduña can be distinguished from the other four species in the genus by the chestnut colored forewing, the male valvae narrowing at the apex, the thinner sclerotized processes of the anellus and by the mtDNA barcode.
