Moved to Pseudexentera hodsoni
Moved from
Bare-patched Oak Leafroller
.
Identification at BOLD as
Pseudexentera spoliana
was based on barcode similarity to two
hodsoni
specimens from the USNM collection which were apparently mislabeled at BOLD as
spoliana
.

Moved from
Pseudexentera
. Is there an official list of common names with a common name for this species? I found at least two different names via Google.

"Official" Common Names
There are relatively few.
The "common" name Oak Olethreutid Leafroller Moth seen on this
Kentucky List
is not really a common name. It is a group name applied to two different species of a kind of Olethreutine moth, ones that do leafrolling in oaks (there are a number of these).
The Entomological Society of America has a
list of about 2,000 common names of insects
and a proposed system for registering new common names. The only Pseudexentera on the list, Pseudexentera mali Freeman, is given the common name pale apple leafroller [moth]. Note that I added the word moth to the name. To my mind this is as close to "official" as you can get.
Yet I believe that many common names exist that deserve respect and should be accorded preference (MPG is perhaps lowest in the pecking order, in my opinion). All comon names given in modern books (Covell, Wagner, the new Moths of Western North America) should be used and used as the exclusive common name. Lists maintained by some organizations (Heppner's Florida Checklist, Ontario Lepidopterists, UK Moths, Several IPM sites using the same list such as Bugwood.org, are examples).
We should not be afraid to coin common names for species that do not already have them. But I do feel that we should respect common names already in general usage. Common names coined by me at MPG or on my personal moth pages do not fall into this category. If a better name can be thought of it ought to be tried out.
I don't remember how I came up with "Bare-patched" Leafroller Moth. Spoliana in Latin refers to a stripped-off animal skin or the armor removed from a dead warrior. "Something" Oak Leafroller Moth might be better if a common names is insisted upon.
