Toll (1936: 405)
described
S. marginella
from
Ternopil‘
region of
Ukraine
(”Podolien, Kreis Zaleszczyki, Wołczków“). This taxon was mentioned in various checklists as a species of uncertain taxonomic position (e.g., Elsner
et al
. 1999: 50,
Ponomarenko 2008
: 101). An accurate drawing of the adult and male genitalia of
S. marginella
in the original description agrees in all details with typical specimens of
S. consanguinella
, and therefore we synonymize
S. marginella
with
S. consanguinella
.
The name „
Sophronia cassignatella
Herrich-Schäffer, 1854
“ was mistakenly applied to a specimen of
S. consanguinella
from Minusinsk, Krasnoyarskiy krai of
Russia
(
Bidzilya 2002: 79
). This mistake was duplicated in the catalogue of
Lepidoptera
of
Russia
(
Ponomarenko 2008: 101
). The name
”
Sophronia cassignatella
“
is a misspelling of the
Sophronia consanguinella
and must be removed from the list of
Gelechiidae
of
Russia
.
