Rhopobota stagnana

Olethreutinae
,
Eucosmini

Remarks.
Fabricius (1787)
literally refers to “
Phalaena rivulata
Wien. Verz. 131.21” when describing this species. There is no ‘
rivulata’
by
Denis and Schiffermüller (1775)
but the latter authors refer to
Tortrix rivulana
Scopoli, 1763
. Herrich-Schäffer (1851: 276) and
Werneburg (1864: 554)
conclude that
Denis and Schiffermüller (1775)
misidentified Scopoli’s species and that
P. undana
F. is really
Sciaphila cuphana
Duponchel, 1842
(sometimes incorrectly attributed to Treitschke and Herrich-Schäffer, but regardless, a junior synonym of
Tortrix stagnana
D. and S.). This synonym has been overlooked in modern literature (e.g.,
Brown 2005
), but does not modify any previous concept of the species involved.
