“Grapholitini sp. 23”:
Brown et al. 2014: 372
.
Eucosmocydia terreirana
was described from a male
holotype
from
Príncipe Island
and a female
paratype
from
São Tomé
. Our DNA analysis shows that “Grapholitini sp. 23” from
Kenya
(
Brown et al. 2014
) is likely conspecific with a specimen of
E. terreirana
from
Gabon
; i.e., the barcodes are 98.3% similar.
Brown et al. (2014)
reported the host of “Grapholitini sp. 23” as
Carissa edulis
Vahl (Apocynaceae)
, which represents the first host record for
E. terreirana
.
