Clepsis severana (Kennel, 1901) stat. rev.

Tortrix severana Kennel, 1901: 227 (Algeria)

Remarks.

The species was synonymised with C. neglectana by Razowski (1979) based on examination of the genitalia of the female holotype ( Fig. 2N ). The slide subsequently was lost and we were unable to re-examine the genitalia. Regarding the type locality (Algeria) it seems unlikely that this taxon is conspecific with C. neglectana .
