Anatrachyntis incertulella, the pandanus flower moth, is a small
British Museum of Natural History
.
It is found mainly in
Rodrigues; except the first locality, these seem to be fairly recent introductions or accidental finds however.[1]
The
Synonyms
This species has been described anew several times from localities where it was not yet known. The
junior synonyms thus created are:[1]
- Aeoloscelis aulacosema Lower, 1904
- Gelechia incertulella Walker, 1864
- Pyroderces aulacosema (Lower, 1904)
- Pyroderces incertulella (Walker, 1864)
- Pyroderces subcarnea Meyrick, 1924
- Stagmatophora incertulella (Walker, 1864)
- Stagmatophora tridigitella Walsingham, 1907
It may also have been placed in Proterocosma, but this was usually considered a subgenus of Stagmatophora in earlier times. As it seems, though, Proterocosma is not particularly closely related to either Stagmatophora or Anatrachyntis.
