BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 21929; BOLD Sequence ID LEASS471-17. BIN: BOLD:ADF8352 Identity: Kessleria lativalva Nel & Varenne, 2016 Remarks. Kessleria lativalva was described from a male holotype and superficially compared with several congeneric species. The nearest neighbour in BOLD is Kessleria petrobiella (Zeller, 1868) with ca. 7% distance. Taking into account the almost complete sequencing of the European Kessleria , a separate species status appears to be correct (Huemer 2018).
