Phycitodes maritima



Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized, but only the nominate form occurs in Germany.


Synonyms
Synonymy of Phycitodes maritima maritima:

Phycitodes maritima (Tengström, 1848) (?)
Phycitodes maritima maritima (Tengström, 1848) (?)
Homoeosoma carlinella Heinemann, 1865
Phycitodes carlinella (Heinemann, 1865)
Phycitodes carlinella carlinella (Heinemann, 1865)
Rotruda carlinella (Heinemann, 1865)
Homoeosoma cretacella Rössler, 1866
Homoeosoma nebulella maritima Tengström, 1870 (?)
Homoeosoma senecionis Vaughan, 1870
Homoeosoma nimbella caniusella Ragonot, 1901

According to Roesler (1973) the maritima epithet has been published as "var." by Tengström in 1870. Other sources give for the maritima epithet the publication year of 1848. I do not have the original work of Tengström for study and thus cannot establish the true publication date of the maritima epithet. For the time being I accept Phycitodes maritima as the valid name for this species, but this name might have to be changed to Phycitodes carlinella.




Distribution
The nominate subspecies is widely distributed in Europe, the remaining subspecies occur in North Africa and in western Asia. In Germany recorded from all Bundesländer.
