Identity:
Digitivalva piozae
Varenne & Nel, 2014
Remarks.
Digitivalva piozae
was described from a male
holotype
and a female
paratype
and separated from other species of the genus, namely
D. occidentella
(Klimesch, 1956)
and
D. solidaginis
(Staudinger, 1859)
, by genitalia structures (
Varenne & Nel 2014a
). However, the nearest neighbour to the successfully sequenced
holotype
is
D. reticulella
(H̹bner, 1796) with 6.1% divergence. Surprisingly the species is more widely distributed than indicated in the original description, with a sequenced record from
Greece
(
Crete
).
