Type locality. France (“Habitat in Gallia Dom. Bosc”). Material examined. None. Identity. Eucosma aspidiscana (Hübner, 1817) ( Olethreutinae , Eucosmini ). Remarks. Pyralis obscurana is a doubtful senior synonym of Tortrix aspidiscana as proposed by Werneburg (1864: 560) . Apart from this older citation, there is no evidence of the true identity of P. obscurana . Moreover, E. aspidiscana is a well established name (Brown 2005) for a widespread species whose replacement would result in considerable confusion. Pyralis obscurana has been out of use ( nomen oblitum ), and therefore we herewith propose to conserve T. aspidiscana ( nomen protectum ) and suppress P . obscurana according to the provisions of Article 23.9 (ICZN 1999). Appendix 2 lists 31 references by more than ten different authors that have used aspidiscana in the last 50 years.
