Remarks: Unaware of the lectotype designation by Parenti & Domínguez (1995:149), Lewis & Sohn (2015: 101) erroneously considered Oecophora galactitella Eversmann a synonym of Ocnerostoma piniarella (Zeller, 1847b: 299) (Yponomeutidae) . Vives Moreno (2014: 122) considers the Spanish population ( bustilloi) a subspecies of E. galactitella .
