Paraperittia Rebel, 1916 View in CoL

Paraperittia Rebel, 1916: 12 View in CoL . Type species: Paraperittia uniformella Rebel, 1916: 12 View in CoL , by original designation and monotypy.

Paraperittia uniformella Rebel, 1916: 12 View in CoL . 2 female syntypes; lectotype ♀, here designated: labeled: Walouiki, R.m. [ Russia meridionalis] Velitchkovsky; 23 Mai [18]88 A. S.[?]; Paraperittia uniformella View in CoL Type ♀ Rebel; uniformella View in CoL Type Rbl. E. Jäckh 1973 7288; Mus. Vind. Gen. Präp. 1528 ♀, in NHMW.

Elachista pigerella (Herrich-Schäffer) View in CoL ; uniformella View in CoL listed as junior synonym ( Leraut 1997: 107).

Remarks: The description of the genus is based on two female specimens, one from Linz, Austria, and the other from Waluiki, Voronech region in South Russia. The specimen from Linz is in bad condition with only one hindwing, head and thorax left, and its safe identification is hardly possible. The syntype from southern Russia, instead, is in good condition with a genital slide available. This specimen is conspecific with Phaulernis dentella ( Zeller, 1839) . As this specimen can unequivocally be identified, it is here selected as the lectotype even though the generalized venation illustration in the original description is based on the specimen from Linz. The genus Paraperittia Rebel, 1916 is considered a junior synonym of Phaulernis Meyrick, 1895: 690 , syn. nov. The species Paraperittia uniformella is here synonymized with Phaulernis dentella ( Zeller, 1839: 204) , syn. nov.

Current status: Phaulernis dentella ( Zeller, 1839) (Epermeniidae) ; here synonymized.
