Pyralis undana Fabricius 1787

undana Fabricius, 1787 Pyralis undana Fabricius, 1787: 237; 1794: 281. Type locality. Austria (“Habitat in Austria Mus. Dom. Schieffermyller”). Material examined. None. Identity. Rhopobota stagnana (Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775) (Olethreutinae, Eucosmini). Remarks. Fabricius (1787) literally refers to “ Phalaena rivulata Wien. Verz. 131.21” when describing this species. There is no ‘ rivulata’ by Denis and Schiffermüller (1775) but the latter authors refer to Tortrix rivulana Scopoli, 1763. Herrich-Schäffer (1851: 276) and Werneburg (1864: 554) conclude that Denis and Schiffermüller (1775) misidentified Scopoli’s species and that P. undana F. is really Sciaphila cuphana Duponchel, 1842 (sometimes incorrectly attributed to Treitschke and Herrich-Schäffer, but regardless, a junior synonym of Tortrix stagnana D. and S.). This synonym has been overlooked in modern literature (e.g., Brown 2005), but does not modify any previous concept of the species involved.Published as part of Baixeras, Joaquín & Karsholt, Ole, 2011, The Tortricidae described by J.
