Description/
Field Marks: |
See Dietze (1910). Identifications at BOLD are based on CNCLEP00025516 in BIN group BOLD:AAB1097, which was dissected and tentatively identified by David Adamski. However, it was not reared and it does not match the lectotype (below) or the original description and illustration. David Adamski (pers. comm., 2024) has implied that without host, identification is uncertain. BOLD:AAB1097 might refer to Blastobasis pulchella or something near it. The specimens match the description and DNA barcode places it as the nearest BIN group to CNCLEP00105947, a paratype of pulchella. |
