TAB) .</p><p>Diagnosis: P. hebetella is characterized by unicolorous ochreous brown forewing with dark grey costal and dorsal fringes. In the male genitalia, the large area of scobination of gnathos and the long posterior lobe of juxta are diagnostic. The female is unknown.</p><p>Molecular data: Three specimens of P. hebetella were sequenced successfully, resulting in 658 bp (n=2) and 567 bp (n=1) DNA barcodes. The nearest neighbour to P. hebetella is P. rondaensis sp. nov., with a 3.13 % divergence. The barcodes of P. hebetella exhibit 0.36 % intraspecific variation.</p><p>Description: Adult. Wingspan 13.5-15 mm. Labial palpus pale ochreous brown, ventrally mixed with off-white scales, apical half dark brown, about 6.5x as long as diameter of the eye (1 st and 2 nd palpomeres), 3 rd palpomere 0.25x length of 1 st and 2 nd palpomeres. Antenna brown, hairy, 0.75x length of forewing. Tegula and thorax ochreous brown, frontal tuft, and neck slightly paler. Forewing narrow, ochreous brown, without longitudinal pale lines and dark spots, except for narrow pale ochre costal line from near base to 3 / 4. Cilia dark grey. Hindwing and cilia dark grey. Abdomen slightly lustrous, blackish grey, each segment with a transverse row of ochre scales.</p><p>Male genitalia: Uncus thimble-shaped from ventral view, elongate, lined with several bristles of different length, distal margin concave. Gnathos 1.65x as long as uncus, funnel-shaped from ventral view, apex broadly rounded, with a shallow medial longitudinal crest, apical 2 / 3 surfaced by transverse ridges and small nodules, apex with sharp spines. Valva upwards oblique, thimble-shaped, ventral margin concave; sacculus covered with long bristles. Anterior extension of juxta straight, robust; posterior lobe exceeding the apex of uncus, apex with a small tooth; valval lobe elongate, parallel-sided, upwards oblique, apex evenly rounded, broadly covered with long bristles. Phallus arched, parallel-sided, with one weakly sclerotized cornutus and a group of numerous tiny spines, apical 1 / 4 dorsally covered with small spines and nodules.</p><p>Female genitalia: Unknown.</p><p>Biology: Unknown. The habitat in Teruel is a calcareous meadow.</p><p>Distribution: Spain. Records from Portugal and France should be re-examined.</p><p>Remarks: Back (1973) states that one paratype is housed in MNHN, but it has not been found there despite searching efforts (Sylvain Delmas, pers. comm.). The location of other type specimens is not known. The male genitalia of the paratype are illustrated and described by Back (1973), the female is unknown. The original description corresponds well with the specimens presented here, except for the different size (17 mm). It is possible that the original type series enclosed two or more different species, as was the case with P. amaurodoxa (see Remarks section of P. amaurodoxa). Back (1973) points out that specimens determined as P. hebetella in different collections are mostly misidentifications.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2350F21303415C34701AFE24C71FFF46	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In the male genitalia, the broad posterior lobe of juxta is characteristic. The female genitalia are unknown.</p><p>Molecular diagnosis: Three fresh specimens of P. nobilella were sequenced, resulting in 658 bp (n=2) and 652 bp (n=1) barcodes. In addition, two old type specimens were sequenced (see Remarks). The nearest neighbor to P. nobilella is the Corsican P. cyrniella Mann, 1855, with a 6.53 % divergence. Minimum and maximum genetic divergences between the lectotype and three P. nobilella specimens are 0.72 % and 0.9 %, respectively.</p><p>Description: Adult. Wingspan 18-23.5 mm, ♀ lectotype 29 mm. Labial palpus pale grey, ventrally mixed white and brown, dorsolaterally with a dark brown apical spot, about 6.3x as long as diameter of the eye (1 st and 2 nd palpomeres), 3 rd palpomere 0.25x length of 1 st and 2 nd palpomeres. Antenna dark brown. Frontal tuft and neck off-white, mixed with pale beige, tegula white, mixed with pale ochre, thorax white, medially mixed with pale ochre. Costal line white, from near base to 4 / 5, evenly tapered towards apex; subcostal line brown, evenly expanded towards apex; median line from base to apex, white, at junction of dent of median line narrow, then expanded, apical 1 / 3 tapered, dent wedge-shaped, not reaching termen; fringe line indistinct, only slightly paler than median area; dorsal line parallel-sided, white, from base to 1 / 3; median area pale ochreous yellow. Cilia pale brown. Hindwing and cilia brownish grey. Abdomen slightly lustrous, grey, each segment with a row of ochre scales.</p><p>Male genitalia: Uncus thimble-shaped from ventral view, lined with several bristles of different length, apex blunt. Gnathos 1.7x as long as uncus, from ventral view elongate, funnel-shaped, medially covered with small nodules, gradually tapered towards apex, apex weakly beak-shaped. Valva elongate, upwards oblique, ventral margin evenly curved; cucullus narrow, apex slightly expanded. Juxta robust; anterior extension straight, short, median part rounded, posterior lobe broad, not extended to uncus, apex armed with a small tooth. Valval lobe broad, rounded apically, covered with several short bristles apically. Vinculum U-shaped. Phallus curved, parallel-sided, with one robust plate-shaped cornutus surrounded by numerous tiny spines.</p><p>Female genitalia: Unknown. The female lectotype lacks the abdomen. The description by Back (1973) is not based on type material and is thus dubious.</p><p>Biology: Unknown.</p><p>Distribution: Known from south-eastern Spain, provinces of Murcia and Alicante.</p><p>Remarks: P. nobilella was originally described as a variation of P. honorella (Hübner, [1813]), based on two specimens. Back (1973) upgraded it to a valid species, stating “Verbleib nicht nachgewiesen” [location is not known]. Two specimens found in MFNB bear “Origin”, “ Type ” and “ex coll. Staudinger” labels, and they indisputably are the original type specimens. The male genitalia are illustrated and described by Back (1973), the female genitalia are shortly described but not illustrated (from the specimen collected from Sierra de Espuña, province of Murcia).</p><p>Based on the external appearance, the male and female type specimens are not conspecific. Also, the DNA analysis supports our interpretation, the genetic distance between them is 8.4 %. We have designated the female specimen as a lectotype because Rebel (1901) emphasizes the importance of the dark subcostal stripe as a distinguishing character, and in the female specimen it is strikingly dark. The identity of the male specimen (Figure 16) remains undefined, it has a unique BIN (BOLD: AER 7277) and its genetic divergence to the nearest neighbour P. subnobilella is 1.28 %.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2350F213034B5C3E701BFEA9C525FEE8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The male genitalia can be distinguished from those of P. hebetella by narrower uncus, the shape of gnathos (smaller area with scobination, apex less rounded) and narrower valval lobe. Compared to P. amaurodoxa, the uncus is shorter, the gnathos narrower, and the posterior lobe of juxta shorter. In the female genitalia of P. pyrenaella, both apophyses are shorter, and the posterior signa and the spines of anterior signum are shorter.</p><p>Molecular data: Seven specimens of P. pyrenaella were sequenced, resulting in 658 bp (n=6) and 654 bp (n=1) barcodes. The nearest neighbour to P. pyrenaella is P. amaurodoxa, with a 3.49 % divergence. The barcodes of P. pyrenaella exhibit 0.15 % intraspecific variation.</p><p>Description: Adult.
