Nemapogon peslieri Varenne & Nel, 2017 Nemapogon peslieri Varenne & Nel 2017b: 107, figs. 1, 3, 5a. Examined material. Holotype ♀: France, Alpes-Maritimes, Sospel, 477 m, uv, 5.VI.2016, Th. Varenne leg., genitalia slide TV n°5903 (RCTV). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 22973; BOLD Sequence ID LEAST375-17. BIN: BOLD:ABW0513 Identity: Nemapogon inexpectata Varenne & Nel, 2017, syn. nov. (Fig. 3) Remarks. Nemapogon peslieri was described from a female holotype and two female paratypes and compared with N. agenjoi Petersen, 1959. Unfortunately no DNA barcode sequence is yet available in BOLD for N. agenjoi. However, the DNA barcode of the successfully sequenced holotype of N. peslieri fully agrees to that of the holotype of N. inexpectata, and from the original figures the female genitalia of both species also largely agree. We therefore synonymize N. peslieri with N. inexpectata. The male sex of N. peslieri published by Huemer (2019) consequently depicts N. inexpectata.
