Notes. During an examination of the type specimen of Platyptilia pygmaeana Strand, 1913 it was found that the latter belongs to Sphenarches anisodactylus . This synonymy was first mentioned by Chr. Gibeaux on the identification label of the type specimen but we didn’t find any mentions of this fact in literature.
