Remarks. Apatetris mediterranella was described from a male holotype and eleven male and eight female paratypes ( Nel & Varenne 2012c). The short DNA barcode sequence of the holotype (325 bp) was previously published by Huemer et al. (2020). The species and its close relative were recently revised and combined in a new genus Mondeguina ( Corley et al. 2020) .
