Varenne & Nel, 2016
Remarks.
Trifurcula angustivalva
was described from a male
holotype
and a female
paratype
and compared with several other congeneric species, particularly
T. squamatella
Stainton, 1849
. We have been able to obtain a short sequence of the
holotype
with 242 bp and a complete DNA barcode of the
paratype
. Both sequences fully correspond to each other with ca. 7.5% distance to the nearest neighbour in BOLD, an unnamed species of
Trifurcula
from
Slovenia
. Morphologically the species is well characterised, and belongs to the group of species around
T. squamatella
and
T. beirnei
Puplesis, 1984
, that probably all make hidden mines inside stems or galls on brooms (
Laštůvka & Laštůvka 2005
).
