The Alps are a hotspot of biodiversity in Europe with many Lepidoptera species still to be discovered. Here we describe a new gracillariid genus and species, Mercantouria neli gen. n. and sp. n. The morphology of the male genitalia is highly differentiated with unique features. DNA barcodes show that its nearest neighbor is the North American species 'Caloptilia' scutellariella (Braun, 1923). Mercantouria neli is known from four adults (two males and two females) collected at two localities in the French Alps. Its host plant and life cycle remain unknown.
阿尔卑斯山脉是欧洲生物多样性的热点地区，仍有许多鳞翅目物种有待发现。在此，我们描述了一个新的细蛾科属和物种，即内利梅尔坎托蛾属（Mercantouria neli），新属及新种。雄性生殖器的形态高度分化，具有独特特征。DNA条形码显示，其最近的亲缘种是北美物种“Caloptilia”scutellariella（布劳恩，1923年）。内利梅尔坎托蛾是在法国阿尔卑斯山的两个地点采集到的四只成虫（两只雄性和两只雌性）中发现的。其寄主植物和生命周期仍然未知。
