Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France , Hautes-Alpes ,bord de la Clarée , Le Rosier , 1370 m , 7-IX-2012 , J. Nel leg., genitalia slide JN n° 6674 ( TLMF ). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28233; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA223-20. BIN: [BOLD:AAB3524] Identity: Acleris emargana (Fabricius, 1775) , synonymized by Nel (2014c) . Remarks. Acleris brigantiensis was described from a single male and compared with the widespread A. emargana ( Nel & Varenne 2013c ) . However, Nel (2014c) later considered alleged differences in male genitalia as artefacts and consequently synonymized both taxa. We obtained a short sequence of 305 bp of the holotype which matches A. emargana and so confirms the synonymy.
