Identity: Pterolonche douxi Varenne & Nel, 2018

Remarks. Pterolonche douxi was described from a male holotype and three female paratypes and distinguished from the morphologically similar P. inspersa Staudinger, 1859 , originally described from Spain ( Varenne & Nel 2018). The successfully sequenced holotype of P. douxi shows a considerable divergence in the DNA barcode of ca. 3% which supports the separate species status of both taxa.
