Cybertype: An equitable and effective method to describing new species of Lepidoptera

Two new stem-boring moth species, E. vespertilio sp. nov. & E. gageodoensis sp. nov., of genus Endoclita (Hepialidae, Lepidoptera) were newly described. The species description was based on images of holotype genitalia obtained from CLSM (confocal laser scanning microscope). 3D models were obtained from CLSM images and designated as cybertypes and 3D printed. From the result, impartialness and effectiveness of describing new lepidopteran species through cybertype were discussed.
