Figures 1 P, 2P

Pyralis asperana Fabricius, 1776: 292; 1787: 234; 1794: 269.

Type locality. Germany, Kiel and Hamburg (“Habitat Kilonii de Sehestedt Hamburgi Dr. Schulz”).

Material examined. S & TL coll. 1 syntype.

Identity. Acleris variegana (Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775) ( Tortricinae, Tortricini).

Remarks. Fabricius (1794) refers to Tortrix osbeckiana Thunberg, 1784 (as Phalaena osbeckiana), a synonym of A. variegana, when treating this species. This species was used in combination with Acleris (then considered a subgenus of Peronea) and synonymised with A. variegana (as a variety) by Stephens (1852). The synonymy has remained stable since then (e.g., Brown 2005).
