Remarks.
Phyllonorycter lobeliella
was described from a series of ten specimens of both sexes, bred from
Genista lobelii
DC. The
species was synonymized with
Phyllonorycter baetica
Laštůvka & Laštůvka, 2006
by
Laštůvka
et al.
(2013)
but resurrected at subspecies level by Nel (2013). As the DNA barcode is identical throughout its distribution area, we see no grounds for maintaining a split at subspecies level.
