Moved
Moved from Daviscardia coloradella. This is an introduced species with records from the southeastern United States from as early as 1967. It has been recorded from Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. The eastern data points on MPG for Daviscardia coloradella probably represent misidentifications of Scardia amurensis. See Landry et al. 2013. - "Shared but overlooked: 30 species of Holarctic microlepidoptera revealed by DNA barcodes and morphology".
