BIN: none Identity: Trifurcula aureacorsa Varenne & Nel, 2016 Remarks. Trifurcula aureacorsa was described from a male holotype and three female paratypes and compared with Trifurcula immundella (Zeller, 1839) . The holotype was examined by EvN, but not sequenced due to lack of sufficient tissue to sample without damaging the specimen. We obtained two short sequences from female paratypes , both from a different part of the barcode, without overlap, which makes them not comparable. On the basis of the male and female genitalia, the species is considered to be the same as a taxon from Sardinia as assessed by EvN (cited by Triberti & Braggio 2011 ), and is assigned to BIN BOLD:ACG9232. In different neighbor-joining analyses the barcode sequences of the paratype specimens grouped with the Sardinian specimens, albeit at some distance. We consider this to be a Tyrrhenian endemic species.
