Identity.
Loboschiza koenigiana
(Fabricius)
(
Olethreutinae
,
Enarmoniini
) (
Diakonoff 1982
).
Remarks.
Pyralis koenigiana
is the
type
species of the genus
Rhadinoscolops
Obraztsov, 1968
by original designation. The genera
Loboschiza
and
Rhadinoscolops
were both described the same year (Diakonoff 1968; Obraztsov 1968). Although they were later synonymized, with priority for
Loboschiza
(
Diakonoff 1982
)
, the tribal assignment of the two genera has been uncertain (i.e.,
Eucosmini
,
Enarmoniini
,
Grapholitini
). Although Brown (2005) presents all this information, the combination
Rhadinoscolops koenigiana
is still frequently used in catalogues and databases. The correct identity and taxonomic position in
Enarmoniini
is discussed by
Horak (2006)
.
