Abstract

Following the discovery of a new species on the western coast of Portugal which is closely related to Apatetris mediterranella Nel & Varenne, 2012, the generic placement of both species is considered in relation to other genera within the Apatetris complex resulting in the description of a new genus, Mondeguina.
