Identity:
Eucosma bimaculatana
Labonne, Nel & Varenne, 2017
, identity uncertain.
Remarks.
Eucosma bimaculatana
was described from two males from
Corsica
(
Labonne
et al.
2017
), whereas the female was reported two years later (Varenne
et al
. 2019).The successfully sequenced
holotype
clusters separately from other barcoded
Eucosma
in a unique BIN with a distance of ca. 4% to the nearest neighbour,
E. glomerana
(Walsingham, 1879)
from North America and ca. 5% to the nearest neighbour in Europe, the morphologically similar
E. tripoliana
(Barrett, 1880)
. However, the relationship to
E. fervidana
(Zeller, 1847)
, a species without barcode sequence so far, needs re-assessment.
