Trifurcula lastuvkaorum

Remarks.
Trifurcula lastuvkaorum
was described from a male
holotype
and a male
paratype
and superficially compared with
T. mediocorsa
in the subgenus
Levarchama
(Varenne & Nel 2019)
. Morphologically, however,
T. lastuvkaorum
has nothing to do with that subgenus, which is now no longer considered as subgenus, but as the
T. cryptella
species group (van
Nieukerken
et al.
2016
).
Trifurcula lastuvkaorum
clearly belongs to the
pallidella
species group. The species was known to us as an unnamed stem miner of
Genista scorpius
, common in Mediterranean
France
and the Iberian Peninsula.The DNA barcode sequence of the
holotype
with 574bp falls with the BIN of this species of
Trifurcula
.
