Acleris brigantiensis Nel & Varenne, 2013c: 19 , figs. 7–8.

Examined material. Holotype Ƌ: France, Hautes-Alpes ,bord de la Clarée, Le Rosier, 1370 m, 7-IX-2012, J. Nel leg., genitalia slide JN n° 6674 ( TLMF).

BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 28233; BOLD Sequence ID PALEA223-20.

BIN: [BOLD:AAB3524]

Identity: Acleris emargana (Fabricius, 1775) , synonymized by Nel (2014c).

Remarks. Acleris brigantiensis was described from a single male and compared with the widespread A. emargana ( Nel & Varenne 2013c) . However, Nel (2014c) later considered alleged differences in male genitalia as artefacts and consequently synonymized both taxa. We obtained a short sequence of 305 bp of the holotype which matches A. emargana and so confirms the synonymy.
