Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France , Var , montagne de Lachens , 1600 m , 11.VII.1995 , J. Nel leg., genitalia slide JN n°3843 ( TLMF ). Paratype (“ allotype ”) ♀ : France , Alpes-Maritimes , Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey, route D5 vers Coussols , 1200 m , 16.VI.2001 , J. Nel leg., genitalia slide JN n°13253 ( TLMF ) . Holotype : BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 06747 ; BOLD Sequence ID PHLAG353-12 . Paratype ( allotype ): BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 06748 ; BOLD Sequence ID PHLAG354-12 . BIN: BOLD:ABY3837 Identity: Elachista anserinelloides Nel, 2003 Remarks. Elachista anserinelloides was described from a male holotype and six other specimens of both sexes ( Nel 2003a ). The species was superficially compared with a larger number of species. We were able to obtain a complete DNA barcode sequence of the holotype , although with 89 ambiguous bases, and a further complete DNA barcode of the paratype published as allotype . Both sequences are largely similar and group within the same BIN, with ca. 2.8% distance to the nearest neighbour in BOLD, Elachista clivella Kaila, 2015 from Russian Altai, a species quite different externally and in genitalia morphology.
