Kullberg ; 3 ♂ (DNA sample 27449 Lepid Phyl), 3 ♀ Zagora , Tagounite , wgs84: 30°50´: -5°32´, 19.V.2011 , J. & A. Kullberg leg. (all coll. MZH ) . Molecular data. The barcodes of C. parthenica comprise several different BINs with a 5.41 % maximum divergence (n=85), which may indicate cryptic diversity. The barcode of the Moroccan specimen diverges 2.66 % from the nearest C. parthenica BIN (from Kazakhstan to China , United States ). Distribution. From Morocco to China , introduced to U.S.A.
