Abstract
Two new species of the genus Bucculatrix Zeller, 1839, B. coadnata sp. n. and B. nigerivalva sp. n., from southeast China are described herein. Male adult and genitalia are described and illustrated. Both species share remarkably reduced and/or fused valva in the male genitalia. DNA barcodes of the holotypes are also provided for aiding species identification.
