Celypha paludicolella Varenne & Nel 2017a: 109 , figs. 6–7.

Examined material. Holotype ♀: France, Alpes-Maritimes , Sospel, 477 m, uv, 5.VI.2016, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide TV n°5903 ( RCTV).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 27002; BOLD Sequence ID LEASU1166-1818.

BIN: BOLD:AAY7649

Identity: Celypha doubledayana (Barrett, 1872) , syn. nov. ( Fig. 5 )

Remarks. Celypha paludicolella was described from a female holotype and a female paratype and compared with C. rivulana (Scopoli, 1763) and C. lacunana ([Denis & Schifferm̹ller], 1775) ( Varenne & Nel 2017a). However, the DNA barcode sequence of the holotype as well as adult morphology correspond to C. doubledayana (Barrett, 1872) , a species known from the same type of habitat, wet meadows and fens. We therefore synonymize C. paludicolella with C. doubledayana .
