Abstract The taxonomy of some Palearctic species of the genus Clepsis Guenée, 1845 (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae), in particular C. neglectana sensu auctt. and C. consimilana sensu auctt., is revised based on combined characters of external and internal adult morphology, including everted vesicae in male genitalia, and DNA barcodes. Clepsis striolana (Ragonot, 1879), stat. rev., C. acclivana (Zerny, 1933), C. trivia (Meyrick, 1913), stat rev., and C. xylotoma (Meyrick, 1891), stat. rev. are resurrected from synonymy with C. neglectana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851), C. semiana (Chrétien, 1915), stat. nov. is considered as a valid species; C. eatoniana (Ragonot, 1881), stat. rev., is resurrected from synonymy with C. consimilana (Hübner, 1817), and C. razowskii Gastón, Vives & Revilla, 2017, syn. nov. is synonymised with C. eatoniana.
