Identity:
Sattleria taurandi
Nel & Varenne, 2019
, identity uncertain.
Remarks.
Sattleria taurandi
was described from a male
holotype
and a male
paratype
, and compared with three other species of
Sattleria
from the Pyrenees (
Nel & Varenne 2019b
). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced
holotype
is about 2.3% divergent from the nearest species
S. pyrenaica
(Petry, 1904)
. However, unfortunately no DNA barcode exists for
S. angustispina
Pitkin & Sattler, 1991
, the nearest species from morphology. Both species can only be separated by subtle genitalia characters which are based on slides made with different preparation techniques, and thus need careful re-assessment.
