Comment

The synonymy between C. smithii and C. chilensis was proposed in 1904 by Alfken, the same year that Cockerell proposed the name C. bicolorella for the species described by Friese (1899). Apparently, Cockerell did not notice the synonymy because he did not have access to Alfken’s article. This can be supposed because Alfken’s article was published on June 30 while Cockerell’s paper appeared in the issue released in September.
