Scythris chablaisensis Delmas, 2018

Scythris chablaisensis Delmas 2018: 21 , figs. 1–3.

Examined material. Holotype ♀: France, Haute-Savoie , Taninges, locality: Le Praz de Lys, 25-VII-2016, altitude 1588 m. Genitalia slide SD n°8403 (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 27002; BOLD Sequence ID LEASU1166-18.

BIN: BOLD:AAJ7286

Identity: Scythris laminella ([Denis & Schifferm̹ller], 1775), syn. nov. ( Fig. 11 )

Remarks. Scythris chablaisensis was described from a female holotype and superficially compared with species of the Scythris cicadella group. However, the DNA barcode sequence of 322bp of the holotype matches S. laminella ([Denis & Schifferm̹ller], 1775) and, according to the original figure, the genitalia also fall within the intraspecific variation of this species.
