Psilogramma gerstmeieri Eitschberger, 2001 [Invalid]

Synonymized with Psilogramma discistriga discistriga by Kitching and Rougerie et al., 2018, Biodivers. Data J. 6: e22236. Psilogramma gerstmeieri was distinguished from Psilogramma choui [= Psilogramma discistriga discistriga] by more contrasting pattern of the forewing upperside, the shape of the apical “fishtail” process of the phallus (which is close in shape to that of Psilogramma wannanensis [= Psilogramma increta]) and the shorter bursa copulatrix. However, all these features are highly variable within species of Psilogramma, and are not indicative of species status. Furthermore, DNA barcode data place the holotype of Psilogramma gerstmeieri deep within a large cluster formed of numerous samples of Psilogramma discistriga discistriga (BIN ACF5359). Consequently, Psilogramma hauensteini is here considered to be a junior synonym of Psilogramma discistriga discistriga.
