The genus assignment of this species is problematic and currently unclear to me: The genus Acigona is problematic, because the identity of Hübner´s Acigona is unclear. Therefore, Friedlanderia was erected. However, the nominal species Tinea cicatricella has been selected as the type species of Acigona in 1962. I am currently not sure whether this act automatically defines the genus Acigona, even though the identity of the original Acigona is unclear. More work is necessary to clarify these issues.
