Scrobipalpa fontanensis Varenne & Nel 2017a: 51 View in CoL , figs. 14–15, 15a, 16.

Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Alpes-Maritimes , Fontan, 1100 m, e.l., 28.IV.2016, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°30456 ( RCTV).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 22975; BOLD Sequence ID LEAST377-17.

BIN: BOLD:ADJ0760

Identity: Scrobipalpa fontanensis Varenne & Nel, 2017 , identity uncertain.

Remarks. Scrobipalpa fontanensis was described from a male holotype as well as another male and two female paratypes, and compared with the morphologically very similar S. mixta Huemer & Karsholt, 2010 ( Varenne & Nel 2017a). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype does not match to any other species of the genus Scrobipalpa in BOLD. The nearest neighbour S. disjectella (Staudinger, 1859) is about 2.9% divergent; unfortunately, no DNA barcode sequence of S. mixta is currently available.
