Epermenia pumila Buvat & Nel 2000

Epermenia pumila (Buvat & Nel, 2000) Cataplectica pumila Buvat & Nel 2000: 96, figs. 4–5. Examined material. Ƌ: France, Rhone-Alpes, Les Houche, 1800 m, 28 julliet 2005, genitalia slide JN 21582, J. Nel leg. (TLMF). BOLD Specimen ID TLMF 06872; BOLD Sequence ID PHLAG478-12. BIN: BOLD:AAL0674 Identity: Epermenia profugella (Stainton, 1856), syn. nov. (Fig. 12) Remarks. Epermenia pumila was described from a male specimen collected in 1948 in the Alpes-Maritimes (Buvat & Nel 2000). We have not been able to examine the holotype, but examined a second specimen identified as E. pumila by J. Nel which fully corresponds to the original description. This specimen agrees both morphologically and in the DNA barcode with E. profugella (Stainton, 1856) and E. pumila is therefore synonymized with that species.
