Identity: Isophrictis lineatella littorella Varenne, Nel & Peslier, 2020 , identity uncertain.

Remarks. Isophrictis lineatella littorella was described from five males, a single female and specimens without information on sex ( Nel et al. 2020). We have been able to obtain a full barcode sequence of a paratype from Corsica which clusters separately from material collected in Italy (country of type locality of lineatella ) and Spain. Unfortunately Nel et al. (2020) did not figure the holotype of ssp. littorella from mainland France but only paratypes from Corsica, and it is therefore impossible to assess the status of this taxon with certainty. Cryptic diversity seems not unlikely from the three currently known barcode clusters.
