Identity: Trifurcula lastuvkaorum Varenne & Nel, 2019

Remarks. 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. The species was known to us as an unnamed stem miner of Genista scorpius , common in Mediterranean France and the Iberian Peninsula.The DNA barcode sequence of the holotype with 574bp falls with the BIN of this species of Trifurcula .
