Remarks.
Spatuncusella occitanica
, the type species of the simultaneously described genus
Spatuncusella
, was described from a male
holotype
and three male and three female
paratypes
(
Nel & Varenne 2013b
). Nel & Varenne (2017) synonymized the species with
Ivanauskiella psamathias
(Meyrick, 1891)
and thus the genus with
Ivanauskiella
Ivinskis & Piskunov, 1980
. However, it was re-established as a valid species by Huemer & Karsholt (2020), both from morphology and particularly the strongly divergent DNA barcode of the
holotype
and examination of additional specimens.
