Elachista gangabella Zeller, 1850 View in CoL

Elachista gangabella Zeller, 1850: 202 View in CoL . Type locality: Italy, Pisa ( Zeller 1850: 202). Lectotype ♂ designated by Parenti (1977: 38), in NHMUK.

Elachista taeniatella Stainton, 1857a: 109 View in CoL . Type locality: England, Stockton-on-Tees. Holotype ♀, in NHMUK. Synonymized by Bradley (1963: 151).

Elachista ursinella Chrétien, 1896: 202 View in CoL . Type locality: France, Seine-et Oise, Chaville ( Chrétien 1896: 202). Holotype (sex not stated in original description), in MNHN. Synonymized by Parenti (1977: 39).

Poeciloptilia gangabella: Herrich-Schäffer (1855: 299, 304).

Svenssonia gangabella: Parenti (2009: 27) .

Subgenus: Aphelosetia ; argentella View in CoL species group.

Distribution: Palearctic. Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Russia (European part, Caucasus), San Marino, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. ( England, Wales), Ukraine.

Larval host plant(s): Brachypodium sp., B. pinnatum (L.) Beauv., B. sylvaticum (Hudson) Beauv. , Dactylis glomerata L., Melica nutans L. (all Poaceae ) ( Stainton 1858a; Steuer 1973; Beiger 1979; Langohr 1979; Buszko 1990a; Agassiz et al. 1992).

Figs.: Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen (1977), Biesenbaum (1995), Bland (1996).

Remarks: Bradley (1963: 152) states that a male specimen from the Zeller collection from ’Schneebg’ [ Austria: Schneeberg] is the holotype of E. gangabella . This is not in accordance with Zeller’s (1850) original statement of the type locality ( Italy, Pisa). Therefore, Parenti’s (1977: 27) lectotype designation stands.
