Neighbor-joining tree of Nemaogon peslieri incl. N. inexpectata and the closest European species N. hungaricus Gozmány, 1960 and N. cloacella (Haworth, 1828) in BOLD. BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 22973; BOLD Sequence ID LEAST375-17. BIN: BOLD:ABW0513 Identity: Nemapogon inexpectata Varenne & Nel, 2017 , syn. nov. ( Fig. 3 ) Remarks. Nemapogon peslieri was described from a female holotype and two female paratypes and compared with N. agenjoi Petersen, 1959 . Unfortunately no DNA barcode sequence is yet available in BOLD for N. agenjoi . However, the DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype of N. peslieri fully agrees to that of the holotype of N. inexpectata , and from the original figures the female genitalia of both species also largely agree. We therefore synonymize N. peslieri with N. inexpectata . The male sex of N. peslieri published by Huemer (2019) consequently depicts N. inexpectata .
