Diversity

[edit | edit source]

The genus comprises about 400 species, with a worldwide distribution. The vast majority of species are found in the temperate regions, with about 257 species described from the Palaearctic region and 81 from the Nearctic. In the tropics, the genus is species-poor, with 36 species described from Indo-Australia, 13 from the Neotropics and 22 from the Afrotropical region.[1] In 2012, a further 27 species were described from the Afrotropics.[2]

Species of unknown status

[edit | edit source]
  • Phyllonorycter crocinella (Sorhagen, 1900), original combination Lithocolletis crocinella. This species was described from Germany. The identity remains questionable, since no type material is known to exist and no further collections have been authenticated since it was described. Although it was originally reported as a leafminer on Salix, Spuler (1910) considered it only as a form of Phyllonorycter kleemannella (Fabricius), which mines the leaves of Alnus.
  • Phyllonorycter graeseriella (Sorhagen, 1900), original combination Lithocolletis graeseriella. This species was described from Germany. The identity remains questionable, since no type material is known to exist and no further collections have been authenticated since it was described.
  • Phyllonorycter salincolella (Sorhagen, 1900), original combination Lithocolletis salincolella. This species was described from Germany. The identity remains questionable, since no type material is known to exist and no further collections have been authenticated since it was described. Without explanation, Kuznetsov (1981) treated salincolella as a form of Phyllonorycter rajella which feeds on Alnus, although the original records report salincolella on Salix caprea.[4]
