Description

Scythris argentierella Nel, 2014

Scythris argentierella Nel 2014a: 7, figs. 3, 9.

Examined material. Holotype ♀: France, Hautes-Alpes, L’Argentière-la-Bessée, 16.VII.2013, 1200 m, J. Nel leg., genitalia slide JN n°27703 (RCJN) [TLMF].

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28236; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA226-20.

BIN: BOLD:AEC5598

Identity: Scythris argentierella Nel, 2014, identity uncertain.

Remarks. Scythris argentierella was described from a female holotype and randomly compared with several superficially similar species such as S. staudingeri Jäckh, 1978 (Nel 2014a). However, the DNA barcode sequence of the holotype is nearest to S. laminella ([Denis & Schifferm̹ller], 1775), a species belonging to a different species group, with ca. 6% divergence. As several species of Scythris remain without sequences, and the male of S. argentierella is still unknown, the taxonomic status will have to be re-assessed in the future.
