Tinea metaxella Huebner, 1813
Nemophora metaxella (Huebner, 1813)
Nematopogon metaxella (Huebner, 1813)
Nematopogon metaxellus (Huebner, 1813)
For a discussion of the "-ellus, -ella, -ellum" endings, please see
Nematopogon pilellus. The species epithet is probably formed from the
greek word "metaxa" for "silk trader", by adding the formula-like
"-ella" ending.
Nematopogon is of masculine gender (pogon = greek "beard" m.), thus the
formula-like species epithets should be adjusted to the "-ellus" form.
