Abstract:

The identity of Stigmella zelleriella (Snellen. 1875) n. comb. is fixed by designation of a lectotype. Nepticula repentiella Wolff, 1955, and Nepticula lappovimella Svensson, 1976, are placed in synonomywith S. zelleriella, which is redescribed and discriminated from resembling species. It appears to have a northern distribution, occurring in sand-dunes on the Salix repens L.-complex and on moors inScandinavia on Salix lapponum L . The related S. benanderella (Wolff, 1955), which occurs on the same foodplants, is also diagnosed.
