Glyphipterix cramerella auct. nec Fabricius, 1781 (misidentification; see below))

Tinea cramerella Fabricius, 1781 is sometimes regarded as a senior synonym of the present species. However, Diakonoff (1986) has studied the type of Tinea cramerella: it is heavily damaged, cannot be identified to species level, but is certainly no Glyphipterix species. Thus, this name is a nomen dubium and does not belong in the synonymy of the present species.

Caution: this species is not identical with Glyphipterix simplicella Christoph, 1882 (described from the Russian Far East). The one-letter difference between the names is sufficient to be regarded as different names according to the rules of zoological nomenclature. In this case, however, the two forms look like misspellings of each other and the similarity of the two names in the same genus (!) is quite unfortunate.
