Taxonomy and systematics

The type species around which Cnephasia was established by J. Curtis in 1826 (in the explanations to plate 100 of his British Entomology ) was claimed to be " Tortrix logiana". However, this was a misidentification; the name of T. logiana (described by C.A. Clerck in 1759 and nowadays called Acleris logiana ) was until the early 20th century frequently applied to related species in error. [2]

Curtis simply repeated the mistake of A.H. Haworth, who had in his 1811 volume of Lepidoptera Britannica discussed a Cnephasia under Clerck's name, but the original misidentification may well go back to Linnaeus' treatment of "T. logiana" in Systema naturae . Eventually, this was resolved, and the type species of Cnephasia was determined to be the tortrix moth described as Olethreutes pasiuana by J. Hübner in 1822. [3]

Hypostephanuncia is sometimes listed as a junior synonym of the closely related genus Eana , but its type species is C. ecullyana . Whether the monotypic Sphaleroptera is a distinct and valid genus or merely a specialized offshoot of Cnephasia is not yet resolved; some authors include it here, while others don't. [6]
