Identity.
Epinotia maculana
(Fabricius)
(
Olethreutinae
,
Eucosmini
) (
Hannemann 1961
).
Remarks.
The relationship of this species to
Tortrix ophtalmicana
Hübner, 1799
was established by Werneburg (1848). However, the priority of the Fabrician name remained undetected even in reputed publications (
Obraztsov 1946
).
Epinotia maculana
was introduced apparently by
Hannemann (1961)
and is used extensively in contemporary literature (e.g.,
Brown 2005
).
