.
Remarks.
Phthorimaea tristrigata
was described from the unique
holotype
, collected in Bitshumbu (Édouard),
DR Congo
. The assignment of the species to
Scrobipalpa
by
De Prins & De Prins (2021)
follows
Beccaloni
et al
. (2003)
. Since this generic combination has not been formally published, I prefer to leave
tristrigata
in
Phthorimaea
until the type is examined.
