We have not had the opportunity to examine the unnamed ' Apatetris ' from the Balkan countries, and consider it to be outside the scope of this paper. Available sequences from BOLD indicate two Dactylotula species (Table 1 ), yet all have been referred to D. kinkerella . From the photographs on BOLD, it is clear that those from the Czech Republic, France and Spain actually belong to D. altithermella (Walsingham, 1903). Notes. Against the background outlined above, it may be considered unwise of us to describe a new genus based on a species already placed in Apatetris . We justify our decision by pointing out that M. mediterranella should never have been described in Apatetris as the shape of the hindwings is quite different from that which defines the genus. In addition, the unusually long antennae are not mentioned for any species in the Apatetris group, indeed Staudinger ( loc. cit .) gave the antenna length as a little over half forewing length; forewing venation with M1 and M2 stalked appears to be unique in the Apatetris group; the absence of a signum in the female genitalia is also different from most Apatetris sensu lato species, although according to Janse (1951), A. mirabella has no signum. In our view the two species considered in this paper, A. mediterranella and A. atlanticella have no place in Apatetris as defined by either Staudinger or Janse, nor in any of the related genera and therefore require a new genus. Genetic evidence provided by the DNA barcode fragments sequenced corroborates their distinctness from other Apatetris sensu lato available in the BOLD database, either European or from other continents (Fig. 1 ).
