Schieffermyller”).</p><p><b>Material examined.</b> None.</p><p><b>Identity.</b> <i>Rhopobota stagnana</i> (Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775) (Olethreutinae, Eucosmini).</p><p><b>Remarks.</b> Fabricius (1787) literally refers to “ <i>Phalaena rivulata</i> Wien. Verz. 131.21” when describing this species. There is no ‘ <i>rivulata’</i> by Denis and Schiffermüller (1775) but the latter authors refer to <i>Tortrix rivulana</i> Scopoli, 1763. Herrich-Schäffer (1851: 276) and Werneburg (1864: 554) conclude that Denis and Schiffermüller (1775) misidentified Scopoli’s species and that <i>P. undana</i> F. is really <i>Sciaphila cuphana</i> Duponchel, 1842 (sometimes incorrectly attributed to Treitschke and Herrich-Schäffer, but regardless, a junior synonym of <i>Tortrix stagnana</i> 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.</p>
