Remarks.
Epermenia pumila
was described from a male specimen collected in
1948 in
the Alpes-Maritimes (
Buvat & Nel 2000
). We have not been able to examine the
holotype
, but examined a second specimen identified as
E. pumila
by J. Nel which fully corresponds to the original description. This specimen agrees both morphologically and in the DNA barcode with
E. profugella
(Stainton, 1856)
and
E. pumila
is therefore synonymized with that species.
