Scrobipalpa superstes Povolný 1977b: 189 .

Material examined. 1 ♂, Russia, Altai Mts, 50°16-20’N 87°50-55’E, Kuraisky hrebet, 2400–2800 m, 7.vii.2001 (Nupponen) (gen. slide 259/16, OB) (Barcode TLMF Lep 28353 [failed]) ( NUPP) .

Molecular data. BIN: BOLD:ACY4407. The intraspecific average distance of the barcode region is 0.17% (n=10). The minimum distance to the nearest neighbour, S. perfecta ( Povolný, 1996) (BIN: BOLD:AAW4627), is 4.65%.

Distribution. Portugal, Spain, France, Italy (Sardinia, Sicily) ( Povolný 1977c: 189; Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 115), Greece, Israel ( Bidzilya et al. 2019b: 50); Russia (new record): Altai.

Remarks. The male from Altai matches specimens from Europe both externally and in the genitalia except that the sacculus is distinctly narrowed apically ( Fig. 75 ), and not parallel-sided as in specimens from Portugal ( Huemer & Karsholt 2010: 390, fig. 61).
