GENUS 5. Sciaphila, Tr. TYPE wahlbomiana, L. 

 Sciaphila wahlbomiana, L. 



The type specimen, which still exists in the Linnean 

 collection in London is a rather grey almost typical example 

 cf a male Argyroploce branderiana. Moreover Linne's 

 description of wahlbomiana agrees with this insect. Of 

 branderiana he only describes the female. 



Branderiana having priority of paging and the specimen 

 described being a female, the name must stand, and 

 wahlbomiana becomes a synonym of branderiana. 



Thus the much discussed " omnium gatherum " 

 wahlbomiana disappears from the group Cnephasia.
