3.1. Etymologie (Namenserklärung)
Garre & Ortiz (2025: 151) erläutern: "Derivation of name: Lat. quinque = five and praedia = farm, refers to the original name of the locality of the first studied specimen, in Spanish Cinco Alquerías, actually the locality of Alquerías, a district belonging to the municipality of Murcia (Spain)."
3.2. Taxonomie
Garre & Ortiz (2025: 151) hatten Schwierigkeiten, ihre neue Art einzuordnen. Auch Barcoding löste nicht alles: "Genetic remarks: BIN BOLD:AFB2144 (n=1; Table 1; sequence length 658 bp). Based on COI divergence, the new species is separated from the other Scythris species compared in our study by genetic distances of 11.4 % (mean divergence; n= 43) (Figure 2). This value is high compared to 10.2 % mean divergence among all the studied species (Table 2, Figure 2) and belongs to a phylogenetically S. pascuella isolated lineage well supported by morphology and genetic data."
Und weiter: "Molecular analysis: DNA barcoding data results obtained in our study indicate that Scythris quinquepraedia sp. n. is rather isolated from other congeneric species studied and, even, from Enolmis species (Figure 2). Interspecific distances of the new species compared to the other Scythris species spanned from 8.8 % to S. emichi and 14.0 % to S. clavella and differs from the rest of the Scythris species with mean values of 10.2 % (Table 2). Differences in barcode sequences were higher than 2 % and, according to Hausmann et al. (2011), in different groups of invertebrate taxa, a sequence divergence in the barcode region higher than 2 % are typical of interspecific variation and recognized as distinct MOTUs, while lower values often correspond to intraspecific differences."
3.3. Faunistik
Garre & Ortiz (2025: 150) teilen knapp mit: "Probably, an endemism from southeast of the Iberian Peninsula (known only from one locality in the Murcia Region). Scarce and local in agricultural landscape of Huerta de Murcia."
3.4. Typenmaterial
Die neue Art wurde nach einem einzelnen Falter beschrieben. Garre & Ortiz (2025: 150) erklären: "Holotype, SPAIN, 1 ♂, Murcia, Alquerías [coordinates 38.007, -1.033], 32 m altitude, 28-VIII-2020, leg. M. Garre, Genprep and BOLD sample ID: AOCLep02710."
