Abstract

The published records ofEriocraniachrysolepidellaZeller, 1851,Incurvariakoerneriella(Zeller, 1839) andLamproniaaeneella(Heinemann, 1870) from Chuvash and Karelia Republics in Russia are based on misidentified specimens. This finding, along with earlier reports on the widespread occurrence of errors, even in the most authoritative works, calls for a critical approach to published data in order to stop spreading and citing false information across future publications.
