Figs.: Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen (1977) , Biesenbaum (1995) , Bland (1996) . Remarks: No authentic specimen that was a model to Clerck’s illustration survives. The identity of E. argentella Clerck was established by Zeller (1853a: 289) ( Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen 1977: 102 ; Robinson & Nielsen 1983: 202 ). Leraut (1997: 108) listed Phalaena alabastrata Villers, 1789 as a junior synonym of E. argentella . The name alabastrata , however, is present only in Villers’s publication in Phalaenae Geometrae (N. 616, p. 379). Its description: “ feticornis , alis albis, lineolis fasciisque plurimis undulates fuscis, limbo fubdentato ”, i.e., wing, e.g., having numerous undulating lines, definitely does not fit E. argentella . Therefore this synonymy must be considered an error. The record (as E. habeleri Traugott-Olsen ) from Central Caucasus by Kaila & Jalava (1994: 100) is a misidentification and refers to E. jubarella Kaila, 2011 .
