There is substantial disagreement on the status of Orenaia preisseckeri
(Rebel, 1903). Some authors regard it as a separate species, while
others synonymize it with either Orenaia lugubralis or Orenaia
alpestralis. I am not convinced yet by any line of evidence, and
therefore consider it a species inquirenda that urgently needs a
thorough revision. This taxon, Orenaia preisseckeri, has not yet been
recorded from Germany.

Orenaia conspurcalis De la Harpe, 1864
Orenaia lugubralis albescens Rebel, 1910
Note: For the status of the taxon preisseckeri, please see the comments above under "Subspecies".
Note: This entire genus is in urgent need of a thorough revision. The
species in the genus are very variable in wing coloration, but show
only slight differences in e.g. genitalia morphology. Thus, the
separation of the species is problematic and very debated.
Note: Orenaia lugubralis has previously been erroneously synonymized
with Orenaia helveticalis. This was caused by a confused and wrong
concept of Orenaia helveticalis in the older literature. The true
Orenaia helveticalis and Orenaia lugubralis are clearly separate
species.
