Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France , Isola-sur-Tinée , 2200 m , 7.VI.2017 , Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°31726 ( RCTV ). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 25314; BOLD Sequence ID LEGEL368-18. BIN: BOLD:ACU4764 Identity: Scrobipalpa mercantourica Varenne & Nel, 2018 , identity uncertain. Remarks. Scrobipalpa mercantourica was described from a male holotype and compared with the morphologically very similar S. arenbergeri Povolný, 1973 ( Varenne & Nel 2018 ). Both species share the BIN and the successfully sequenced holotype is only about 1% divergent to S. arenbergeri . However, in consideration of the subtlety of diagnostic genitalia characters and the limited material, we maintain the species status of both taxa for the time being.
