Synonyms and other taxonomic changes

Ypsolopha dentiferella (Walsingham, 1881)

Cerostoma dentiferella Walsingham, 1881

Remarks

Ypsolopha dentiferella was designated by Walsingham, 1881:107 as the type for the Ypsolopha dentiferella group which also includes frustella and canariella.

Per Powell & Opler (2009), Ypsolopha dentiferella, frustella and canariella may be conspecific.(1) BOLD mtDNA data seems to support that conjecture. As of 2016, the BIN group, BOLD:AAC0506, contains all three species with all three placed randomly in the TaxonID Tree.
