Barcode Index Number: BOLD:ADI3086

Material studied. 10 ♂ (DNA sample 25648 Lepid Phyl; DNA sample 24649 Lepid Phyl) Al Haouz Prov., Oukaimden 1.5 km SE, 2660 m, 2.VII.2016, J. Tabell leg. (coll. TAB) .

Molecular data. The nearest neighbour is C. hyssopi Toll, 1961, with a 4.24 % divergence. The barcodes of C. gypsella exhibit no intraspecific variation (n=2).

Distribution. Morocco, endemic to the High Atlas Mountains.

Note. The biology is unknown. At the collecting locality Dianthus sp. is abundant, and presumably it is the host plant of the species.
