Identity: Aroga corsa Varenne & Nel, 2019

Remarks. Aroga corsa was described from four males and four females bred from the Corsican endemic Astragalus terraccianoi (Fabaceae) and compared with the closely related A. aristotelis ( Nel & Varenne 2019a) . However, genitalia in this species had been considered as highly variable so far ( Sattler 1960). We have been able to obtain a complete DNA barcode sequence of the holotype which strongly differs from A. aristotelis by ca. 4.9% and therefore supports a separate species status.
