Phyllonorycter acericorsica Nel & Varenne 2015: 162 View in CoL , figs. 1, 2b, 3a.

Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Haute-Corse , Santa-Lucia-di-Mercurio, 6.VII.2013, uv, 770 m, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide JN n°26972 ( RCTV).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28227; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA217-20.

BIN: none

Identity: Phyllonorycter ochreojunctella (Klimesch, 1942) , syn. nov.

Remarks. Phyllonorycter acericorsica was described from two male specimens and compared with several other Acer -feeding congenerics, particularly P. acerifoliella (Zeller, 1839) ( Nel & Varenne 2015) . Unfortunately DNA barcoding of the holotype failed. On the basis of the forewing pattern and genitalia we follow Z. Laštůvka (in Lopez-Vaamonde et al. 2021) who regards this as Phyllonorycter ochreojunctella , a species not considered by Varenne & Nel (2015), and we hereby introduce the synonymy.
