Barcode Index Number: BOLD:AEQ9994

Material studied. 4 ♂, 8 ♀ (DNA sample 24750 Lepid Phyl [barcoding failed]) Souss-Massa-Draa, Ouarzazate , 30°50´: -6°49´, 1140 m, 11.V.2011, J. & A. Kullberg; 3 ♂ (DNA sample 27449 Lepid Phyl), 3 ♀ Zagora , Tagounite , wgs84: 30°50´: -5°32´, 19.V.2011, J. & A. Kullberg leg. (all coll. MZH) .

Molecular data. The barcodes of C. parthenica comprise several different BINs with a 5.41 % maximum divergence (n=85), which may indicate cryptic diversity. The barcode of the Moroccan specimen diverges 2.66 % from the nearest C. parthenica BIN (from Kazakhstan to China, United States).

Distribution. From Morocco to China, introduced to U.S.A. Reported for the first time from Morocco by Baldizzone (1995).
