Blastobasis lignea clarification and source
[edit]Page 422-423 of Karsholt & Sinev, 2004 has the low-down on Blastobasis adustella, Blastobasis vittata and Blastobasis lignea. The type specimen of lignea was reassigned to vittata (p 406-410) but three varieties of lignea were reassigned to adustella. Then it turned out that lignea records from the British Isles were adustella, not vittata.
That much makes sense. But then K&S say "The true B. lignea is known from Madeira only". Which at first glance might suggest that they think lignea is a separate valid species from vittata and adustella. But if they thought so they'd have included it in their checklist. So my tentative interpretation is that only specimens from Madeira have ever been correctly identified as lignea as Walsingham meant it, but that those specimens now fall under vittata anyway. Clarification from the authors might be useful.
Upshot: B. lignea is probably NOT considered a separate species. samillar94 (talk) 11:22, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Oh, also - vittata isn't endemic to Madeira, it's in the Netherlands, England and Northern Ireland too [1]. Bladmineerders.nl does indeed mean vittata, not adustella [2] as does UKMoths [3] and the Fauna Europea link needs replaced [4] (its distribution maps are out of date). samillar94 (talk) 11:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
