Sophronia consanguinella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 View in CoL

= marginella Toll, 1936 View in CoL , syn. n.

= cassignatella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 View in CoL , misspelling ( Bidzilya 2002: 70; Ponomarenko 2008: 101)

Toll (1936: 405) described S. marginella View in CoL from Ternopil‘ region of Ukraine (”Podolien, Kreis Zaleszczyki, Wołczków“). This taxon was mentioned in various checklists as a species of uncertain taxonomic position (e.g., Elsner et al. 1999: 50, Ponomarenko 2008: 101). An accurate drawing of the adult and male genitalia of S. marginella View in CoL in the original description agrees in all details with typical specimens of S. consanguinella View in CoL , and therefore we synonymize S. marginella View in CoL with S. consanguinella View in CoL .

The name „ Sophronia cassignatella Herrich-Schäffer, 1854 “ was mistakenly applied to a specimen of S. consanguinella from Minusinsk, Krasnoyarskiy krai of Russia ( Bidzilya 2002: 79). This mistake was duplicated in the catalogue of Lepidoptera of Russia ( Ponomarenko 2008: 101). The name ” Sophronia cassignatella “ is a misspelling of the Sophronia consanguinella and must be removed from the list of Gelechiidae of Russia.
