BIN: none Identity: Plutella angulivalva Nel & Varenne, 2019, identity uncertain. Remarks. Plutella angulivalva was described from four specimens of both sexes, collected in the French Pyrénées and compared with two species from the Alps, namely P. geniatella (Zeller, 1839) and P. huemerella (Baraniak, 2007) (Nel & Varenne 2919a). Unfortunately DNA barcoding of the male holotype failed.

BIN: BOLD:AAW5816 Identity: Aristotelia billii Varenne & Nel, 2013, identity uncertain. Remarks. Aristotelia billii was described from a male holotype and from two male and five female paratypes (Nel & Varenne 2013a) and separated from the similar A. subericinella Duponchel, 1843 by characters of the male genitalia. The DNA barcode sequence of the holotype was already published by Huemer et al. (2020) and clearly differs from topotypical A. subericinella collected in eastern Austria. Moreover, it differs externally from A. leonhardi Krone, 1907, the only European species of the A. subericinella species-group without barcode (Huemer et al. 2020). However, the genus Aristotelia, and particularly the A. subericinella species group including A. billii, are in need of a taxonomic revision.

BIN: not barcode compliant, but identical to BOLD:AAV7002 Identity: Stigmella nivenburgensis (Preissecker, 1942), syn. nov. (Fig. 2) Remarks. Stigmella thibaulti was described from a male holotype and compared with S. betulicola (Stainton, 1856) and S. nivenburgensis (Preissecker, 1942) (Varenne & Nel 2019). The successfully sequenced specimen fully matches S. nivenburgensis in DNA barcode, and although this sequence is not considered barcode compliant, it falls within the BIN that all European specimens share. The alleged diagnostic characters are due to different preparation techniques (i.e. pressure on coverslip); the triangular "flap" on the valval tip is present in all species in the betulicola species group, but usually invisible as it is positioned ventrally, but pressure moves it laterally (see figures in Johansson & Nielsen 1990). Stigmella nivenburgensis was recorded recently as new for France (van Nieukerken et al. 2012b). Stigmella thibaulti is considered to be a junior synonym of S. nivenburgensis., Published as part of Huemer, Peter & Van Nieukerken, Erik J., 2021, Identity of some recently described Lepidoptera from France-re-assessed with DNA barcodes and morphology, pp. 301-337 in Zootaxa 4941 (3) on page 303, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4595123, {"references":["Johansson, R. & Nielsen, E.

BIN: not barcode compliant. Identity: Epiblema bonifaciensis Nel, Varenne & Peslier 2020, identity uncertain. Remarks. Epiblema bonifaciensis was described from a single male holotype and compared with several congeneric species, particularly the closest taxon E. graphana (Treitschke, 1835) (Nel et al 2020). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype is not barcode compliant and ca. 1.4% divergent from the nearest neighbour, E. graphana. The latter species shows considerable intraspecific barcode variation with altogether three BINs, and E. bonifaciensis nests in a group near the most widespread cluster. The small differences in male genitalia and also in the later described female (Varenne et al. 2020) may be due to individual variation and distortion of genitalia (female ostium), and require careful re-assessment in the context of a revision of the intraspecific variation of E. graphana.

However, the DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype of N. peslieri fully agrees to that of the holotype of N. inexpectata, and from the original figures the female genitalia of both species also largely agree.

Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°31706 (RCTV). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 25313; BOLD Sequence ID LEGEL367-18. BIN: BOLD:ABW4899 Identity: Elachista maculosella Chrétien, 1896, syn. nov. (Fig. 10) Remarks. Elachista karsticola was described from a male holotype and separated from the randomly selected species of the E. bifasciella species-group E. sebastella Kaila, 2015, E. sulcsiella Savenkov, 2013, E. orstadii Palm, 1943 and E. gruenewaldi Parenti, 2002 on genitalia characters (Varenne & Nel 2018). The species was recently included in the World Catalogue of Elachistidae as valid taxon (Kaila 2019). However, the successfully sequenced holotype shares the barcode with E. maculosella, a species described from France and corresponding in morphology but not considered as potential conspecific by Varenne & Nel (2018).According to Kaila (pers. comm.) the taxon falls in the range of intraspecific variation of E. maculosella. We therefore synonymize E. karsticola with E. maculosella.

Hyperlais rosseti Varenne, 2009 Hyperlais rosseti Varenne 2009: 15, unnumbered figs. of adults, figs. 1–2. Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Hautes-Alpes, La Grave, 7.V.2008 (RCTV). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 22311; BOLD Sequence ID LEASS663-17. BIN: BOLD:ADL9611 Identity: Hyperlais rosseti Varenne, 2009, identity uncertain. Remarks. Hyperlais rosseti was described from four males and three females and compared particularly with the related H. siccalis (Guenée, 1854) and H. nemausalis (Duponchel, 1834) (Varenne 2009). The successfully sequenced holotype is ca. 5% divergent from the nearest neighbour in BOLD, an unnamed species. However, the majority of Hyperlais have not been barcoded so far. Leraut (2012) discussed an eventual conspecitify with H. dulcinalis (Treitschke, 1835) and H. glyceralis (Staudinger, 1859) with subspecific status, but both species lack DNA barcodes., Published as part of Huemer, Peter & Van Nieukerken, Erik J., 2021, Identity of some recently described Lepidoptera from France-re-assessed with DNA barcodes and morphology, pp. 301-337 in Zootaxa 4941 (3) on page 333, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4595123, {"references":["Varenne, T.

Aroga corsa was described from four males and four females bred from the Corsican endemic Astragalus terraccianoi (Fabaceae) and compared with the closely related A. aristotelis (Nel & Varenne 2019a). However, genitalia in this species had been considered as highly variable so far (Sattler 1960). We have been able to obtain a complete DNA barcode sequence of the holotype which strongly differs from A. aristotelis by ca. 4.9% and therefore supports a separate species status.

Cydia mogeae was described from a male holotype and a female paratype and compared with Cydia illutana (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) (Varenne & Nel 2014a). However, the successful sequencing of both type specimens showed that the holotype matches Pammene obscurana, i.e. a representative of another genus, whereas the paratype showed no genetic distance to C. illutana.

Sattleria taurandi was described from a male holotype and a male paratype, and compared with three other species of Sattleria from the Pyrenees (Nel & Varenne 2019b). The DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype is about 2.3% divergent from the nearest species S. pyrenaica (Petry, 1904). However, unfortunately no DNA barcode exists for S. angustispina Pitkin & Sattler, 1991, the nearest species from morphology.

Ancylis paraobtusana was described from a male holotype and a female paratype and compared with several congeneric species, particularly with its alleged closest taxon A. obtusana (Haworth, 1811) (Nel et al. 2020). However, DNA barcodes of the successfully sequenced holotype and paratype cluster together with a specimen of A. comptana (Frölich, 1828) from Lower Austria with only 0.4% divergence; these are in turn nested among three clusters of European samples without geographic structure. On the basis of uniform morphology, these clusters are considered to belong to a single, genetically variable species. Another strongly divergent cluster from North America with ca. 2.7% divergence to the nearest neighbour in Europe remains unrevised and possibly represents a different species.

Elachista bidentata was described from a male holotype and separated from E. orstadii on subtle differences in genitalia (Varenne & Nel 2019). However, the DNA barcode sequence of the holotype fully corresponds with the latter species and the alleged genitalia differences are within the intraspecific variation of large samples from Europe and Siberia (Kaila in litt.). We therefore synonymize E. bidentata with E. orstadii.

Trifurcula lastuvkaorum was described from a male holotype and a male paratype and superficially compared with T. mediocorsa in the subgenus Levarchama (Varenne & Nel 2019). Morphologically, however, T. lastuvkaorum has nothing to do with that subgenus, which is now no longer considered as subgenus, but as the T. cryptella species group (van Nieukerken et al. 2016). Trifurcula lastuvkaorum clearly belongs to the pallidella species group.

However, the DNA barcode sequence of the holotype as well as adult morphology correspond to C. doubledayana (Barrett, 1872), a species known from the same type of habitat, wet meadows and fens.

Digitivalva piozae was described from a male holotype and a female paratype and separated from other species of the genus, namely D. occidentella (Klimesch, 1956) and D. solidaginis (Staudinger, 1859), by genitalia structures (Varenne & Nel 2014a). However, the nearest neighbour to the successfully sequenced holotype is D. reticulella (H̹bner, 1796) with 6.1% divergence. Surprisingly the species is more widely distributed than indicated in the original description, with a sequenced record from Greece (Crete).

The worn specimen with overall white appearance was compared with other superficially similar looking species (Nel & Varenne 2019a) but not with the morphologically closest species E. bedellella (Sircom, 1848) (Kaila in litt.). We have been able to obtain a short sequence of the holotype with 259bp which, however, corresponds to E. squamosella (Duponchel, 1843) with 99.6% similarity. The latter species is quite different externally and in genitalia morphology and similarity in DNA barcode may be due to the short sequence.

Cydia oxytropidana Nel & Varenne, 2016 Cydia oxytropidana Nel & Varenne 2016a: 36, figs. 18, 19a, 20a. Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Hautes-Alpes, La Roche-de-Rame, 30.V.2015, J. Nel leg.

Paratype: BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 22249; BOLD Sequence ID LEASS601-17. BIN: BOLD:ACZ9660 Identity: Cydia oxytropidis (Martini, 1912), syn. nov. (Fig. 6) Remarks. Cydia oxytropidana was described from a male holotype and several paratypes of both sexes. Nel & Varenne (2016a) compared the species with C. oxytropidis (Martini, 1912) but based their diagnosis exclusively on genitalia figures published by Razowski (2003). Whereas the discussed differences in male genitalia are subtle, the females of both species seemed to differ strikingly e.g. by the lack of signa in C. oxytropidis vs well developed in C. oxytropidana. However, re-assessment of allegedly diagnostic characters gave a different picture. Male genitalia show intraspecific variation that does not support two species. Similarly female genitalia characters underly some variation as shown by Nel & Varenne (2016a) for C. oxytropidana. Paired signa in female genitalia are a basic structure in Cydia and well developed in all European species. It is therefore suspected that the figure of C. oxytropidis in Razowski (2003), based on a specimen from Ukraine, is erroneous. Other specimens of C. oxytropidis from the Ukraine have normally developed signa (Kavurka 2010) and the same applies to material from Central Europe dissected by PH. Finally we have been able to obtain DNA barcode sequences of the holotype and two paratypes of C. oxytropidana which also fully correspond to C. oxytropidis. We therefore synonymize C. oxytropidana with C. oxytropidis.
