Shaw , MRS_JFT0826 . Geographical distribution. PAL. PAL- Georgia*, Germany*, Hungary, Moldova, Netherlands*, Russia (S), Ukraine, United Kingdom. Molecular data. BIN: BOLD:AEJ7518. Host information. Bucculatricidae : type reared from Bucculatrix ulmella Zeller, 1848. Notes. German specimens were identified using the keys and information provided in Papp (1983) , Tobias (1986) , and especially Zeng et al. (2011) . This species is matched with a DNA barcode for the first time. The only known host data is from the original description ( Tobias 1975 ). Two specimens reared from Bucculatrix ulmella were also available to us (MRS_JFT0823, MRS_JFT0826); they match our morphological concept of this species and were reared from the same host as the type, but have not yet been sequenced. This species is illustrated in Figs 18 , 19 . Figure 18.
