Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Querticelli, Santa-Lucia-di-Mercurio, 770 m, Haute Corse, 27.VI.2010, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°26271 ( RCTV).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28231; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA221-20.

BIN: BOLD:ADL5105

Identity: Pleurota castagniccia Varenne & Nel, 2013

Remarks. Pleurota castagniccia was described from four males and compared with the morphologically similar P. aristella (Linnaeus, 1767) ( Varenne & Nel 2013b) . The successfully sequenced holotype shows a considerable divergence of ca. 5.8% from the nearest neighbour, P. staintoniella Baker, 1888 from North Africa, which supports the separate species status of both taxa.
