Identity:
Scrobipalpa fontanensis
Varenne &
Nel, 2017
, identity uncertain.
Remarks.
Scrobipalpa fontanensis
was described from a male
holotype
as well as another male and two female
paratypes
, and compared with the morphologically very similar
S. mixta
Huemer & Karsholt, 2010
(
Varenne & Nel 2017a
). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced
holotype
does not match to any other species of the genus
Scrobipalpa
in BOLD. The nearest neighbour
S. disjectella
(Staudinger, 1859)
is about 2.9% divergent; unfortunately, no DNA barcode sequence of
S. mixta
is currently available.
