An annotated catalogue of Elachistinae of the World (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea: Elachistidae) Author Kaila, Lauri text Zootaxa 2019 2019-07-11 4632 1 1 231 journal article 26215 10.11646/zootaxa.4632.1.1 e0aabdb8-bda6-48e4-bdef-f7b64577d5cd 1175-5326 3335414 12883950-D194-450A-BC4F-7996F5815E4F Elachista saccharella ( Busck, 1934 ) Donacivola saccharella Busck, 1934: 169 . Type localities: Cuba , [ Estación Experimental Agronómica at Santiago de la Vegas ]; Cuba , Baraguá. Syntypes in USNM. See Remarks . Elachista saccharella : Kaila (1999a: 169) . Dicranoctetes saccharella : Braun (1935: 47) . Subgenus: Elachista ; saccharella species group. Distribution: Nearctic-Neotropical. Cuba , Peru , Equador , U.S.A. ( Florida , Louisiana ). Larval host plant(s): Saccharum officinarum L. ( Poaceae ) ( Busck 1934 ),? Muhlenbergia sp. ( Poaceae ) ( Sruoga 2010 ). Figs.: Busck (1934) , Kaila (1999b) , Sruoga (2010) . Remarks: Busck (1934) implies the existence of one ‘type’, in USNM, Catalogue No. 44141, yet mentions two type localities. According to Brown et al. (2004) there is in the USNM a female specimen, numbered # 9633, considered the holotype by them. This specimen is also mentioned by Busck (1934) as part of (?) syntypes , yet with an indication that this specimen would not be the primary type. The interpretation of Brown et al. (2004) was the same as Kaila’s (1999b) . The species has been reported to cause damage to sugarcane ( Long & Hensley 1972 ).
