Remarks: Wocke (1876: 494) considers E. turfosella to be a synonym of E. kilmunella (as E. stagnalis ). In page 494, ibid , Nolcken considers it a synonym of E. alpinella (as E. monticola ). Nolcken’s interpretation is based on rearing a record from mines on leaves on Carex . This interpretation, followed here, is in accordance with the biology of E. alpinella , not E. kilmunella which is a stem miner on Eriophorum (Cyperaceae) .
