Glyphipterix struvei

Subspecies
No subspecies are recognized. The status of this taxon is debated. Most authors regard it as a subspecies or only an individual aberration of Glyphipterix thrasonella. Only two female specimens are known. Thus, nothing certain can be said about the taxon; however, I prefer to regard it as a separate species, in order to draw attention to the fact, that Borkum island may be the home of an endemic and extremely rare species of Glyphipteryx.
