title: Data from: Half of the diversity undescribed: Integrative taxonomy reveals 32 new species and a high cryptic diversity in the Scopariinae and Crambinae of the Philippines (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

description: The Crambinae and Scopariinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) of the Philippines
 are revised here using DNA barcoding and morphology. In the Scopariinae,
 20 species are reported from the Philippines, of which 14 are described as
 new: Scoparia abo sp. n., S. aenea sp. n. , S. bicornuta sp. n., S.
 fulvida sp. n., S. ifugaoensis sp. n., S. luzonensis sp. n., S.
 negrosensis sp. n., S. masiita sp. n., S. tenuispina sp. n., Eudonia
 penicula sp. n., Micraglossa kianganensis sp. n., Micraglossa polisensis
 sp. n. In the Crambinae, 42 species are found in the Philippines, with
 half of them described here as new: Calamotropha anacantha sp. n.,
 Calamotropha philippinensis sp. n., Catoptria philippinensis sp. n.,
 Culladia pseudoscoparia sp. n., Gargela aculea sp. n., Gargela
 acutibrachium sp. n., Gargela bidentella sp. n., Glaucocharis altissima
 sp. n., Glaucocharis hamulus sp. n., Glaucocharis kayumanggi sp. n.,
 Glaucocharis kabundukanis sp. n., Glaucocharis negrosensis sp. n.,
 Glaucocharis uncusellus sp. n., Glaucocharis sungay sp. n., Metaeuchromius
 makintabus sp. n., Metaeuchromius rizali sp. n., Microchilo bundoki sp.
 n., Microchilo cebuano sp. n., Microchilo imminutela sp. n., Microchilo
 spinosus sp. n. Scoparia philippinensis (Hampson, 1917) and Metaeuchromius
 micralis (Hampson, 1919) comb. nov., as well as female genitalia of
 Calamotropha obliterans (Walker, 1863) are redescribed, and first
 descriptions of male genitalia of Glaucocharis clytia (Błeszyński, 1966)
 and Calamotropha unicolorellus (Zeller, 1863) are provided. Euchromius
 brunnealis (Hampson, 1919) syn.nov. is synonymized with Metaeuchromius
 micralis comb. nov. Culladia tonkinella (Walker, 1865), Eudonia
 barbipennis (Hampson, 1897), Gargela minuta Song, Chen & Wu, 2009,
 Gargela polyacantha Li, 2019, Gargela xanthocasis (Meyrick, 1897),
 Glaucocharis lathonia (Błeszyński, 1966) and Glaucocharis clytia are
 reported here for the first time from the Philippines. DNA barcodes of 359
 specimens indicate a perfect match with the Molecular Operational Taxonomy
 Unit (“MOTU”) in 45 of the 66 morphospecies (68%), while nineteen of the
 morphospecies included one or more MOTUs, and three MOTUs were shared
 among more than one morphospecies. Forty MOTUs represented by females only
 suggest further unrecognized species in these groups. An apparent endemism
 rate of 95% is observed in mountain-dwelling Scopariinae, while the
 Crambinae show a lower endemism rate of roughly 50%, presumably due to the
 occurrence of many lowland species. Further expeditions to undersampled
 islands and mountains will surely reveal additional species.
description: This dataset contains a list of the specimens of Crambinae and
 Scopariinae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) of the Philippine islands
 investigated in Léger et al. (2024). Label information was hand-typed, and
 GPS coordinates were inferred using gazetteers. Additionnal notes on the
 habitat were provided by the main collector of the material.

Specimen metadata was directly inferred from he label information or the associated notebooks. Locality coordinates were inferred from gazetteers. DNA samples are stored at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin.
