To help resolve these issues, we conducted an integrative analysis of 741 cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode sequences available by combining phylogenetic reconstruction, population genetic (Fst) metrics, and biogeographic data. This approach delineated 44 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) and established a genus-specific, empirical genetic distance threshold of 2.05% from a baseline of 29 morphologically validated MOTUs. These 29 MOTUs/morphospecies were then utilized to assess the interspecific genetic distance gap of this genus and further used as the species-level genetic distance to delimit the remaining morphospecies. Applying this multi-evidence framework allowed us to propose a significant re-evaluation of species boundaries, including several taxonomic reclassifications, and to generate the molecular inventory for&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Actias&lt;/em&gt;. Our study illustrates the power of an integrated molecular approach to resolve complex taxonomic issues and provides a robust, data-driven foundation for future research on &lt;em&gt;Actias&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
