BUCKLERIA NEGOTIOSUS ( MEYRICK, 1926) View in CoL

COMB. NOV.

Trichoptilus negotiosus Meyrick, 1926: 325 View in CoL . Buckleria vanderwolfi Gielis, 2008: 49 View in CoL . syn. nov.

Material examined: Trichoptilus negotiosus : 1 male (Holotype), Republic of South Africa ( RSA), White River, Wellington , 1500′, xi.1922, leg. K. H. Barnard [genitalia preparation SAMC VK105 View Materials , coll. South African Museum Cape Town ( SAMC), RSA]. Buckleria vanderwolfi : 1 male (Holotype), RSA, Cape Prov., Tsitsikamma National Park, Storms River Mouth, 17.–18.ii.1995, leg. H.W. VD Wolf (genitalia preparation CG 2973 , coll. CG 22035 ) .

Comments: Trichoptilus negotiosus was excluded from the analyses owing to the lack of sufficient specimens, but the study of the holotype (male) of this species and B. vanderwolfi by the second author revealed that they were conspecific considering both morphological and genitalia characters. Therefore, here we consider B. vanderwolfi as a junior synonym of T. negotiosus . Additionally, because of the close resemblance of T. negotiosus to the Buckleria species , it is here transferred to the latter genus as a new combination.
