Stainton (1858a: 330)
considered
E. abruptella
Stainton, 1854
to be a synonym of
E. adscitella
. This synonymy was suggested when the taxonomy of this species complex was not known; therefore this synonymy should be considered with caution (see
Bradley 1963: 158
) until the
types
have been examined.
