Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
Y. acerella
Ponomarenko, Sohn
et
Zinchenko
in the forewing having many erect scales, but can be easily distinguished by having white and brown strips along the veins, which are absent in the latter species.
Ypsolopha scabrella
is similar to
Y. horridella
(Treitschke)
in the male genitalia, but differs in the saccus as long as the socius and sharp at the apex (
Fig. 118
), which is 3/4 length of the socius and truncate at the apex in the latter species (
Fig. 121
).
Ypsolopha scabrella
is also similar to
Y. amoenella
(Christoph)
in the female genitalia, but can be separated by the signum triangular posteriorly (
Fig. 166
), which is trapezoid posteriorly in the latter species (
Fig. 157
).
