Cryphia (Cryphia) sp.

Cryphia (Cryphia) sp. (near simulatricula)

Notes

One female specimen was collected from Taddart (Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ). It had suffered significant damage in the trap, with part of the abdomen missing due to attacks by mantids. This left the specimen in a condition unsuitable for traditional identification methods, as critical genital structures were missing. Consequently, we resorted to DNA barcoding, which indicated a 100 % match with C. simulatricula (Guenée, 1852) . According to Fibiger et al. (2009) and Govi and Fiumi (2019), C. simulatricula is exclusively found in Europe, from south-eastern Spain across southern France to northwest Italy and southern Switzerland. Though the barcode of our specimen is identical to that of C. simulatricula , its external morphology is distinctly different, leaving its identity open.
