M o l e c u l a r d a t a. 21 barcode sequences in BOLD cluster in three widely separated clades and show a large intraspecific divergence with maximum of 9.88 %. Specimens identified as A. rancidella tadzhika should likely be considered as a separate species due to the large genetic distance from European counterparts. Also the only available barcode from Crete with a minimum distance of 3.31 % to other continental samples indicates potential cryptic diversity.

R e m a r k s. Specimens from Crete generally have more distinct forewing markings compared to specimens from mainland Europe.
