Remarks.
Phyllonorycter acericorsica
was described from two male specimens and compared with several other
Acer
-feeding congenerics, particularly
P. acerifoliella
(Zeller, 1839) (
Nel & Varenne 2015
)
. Unfortunately DNA barcoding of the
holotype
failed. On the basis of the forewing pattern and genitalia we follow Z. Laštůvka (in
Lopez-Vaamonde
et al.
2021
) who regards this as
Phyllonorycter ochreojunctella
, a species not considered by Varenne &
Nel (2015)
, and we hereby introduce the synonymy.
