Identity: Cedestis civitatensis Nel & Varenne, 2015

Remarks. Cedestis civitatensis was described from a male holotype and a female paratype and compared with other known European congeneric taxa. Both type specimens were sequenced successfully with 550 and 587 bp respectively. The distance to the nearest congeneric neighbour C. subfasciella (Stephens, 1834) is 11.57%. Other species with lower distances in BOLD are, for example, a likely misidentified Elachista with only ca. 3.5% divergence, but the status of these taxa requires further assessment.
