Note: the types of Hemerobius aphidivorus are
lost, but based on the original description
Aspöck et al. (2001) suggest that the name
might refer to Micromus angulatus and regard it
as a nomen dubium. I do not agree with this
notion, because the original description by
Schrank (1781) clearly states that the wings are
white (probably meaning "not brown") and having
larger and darker wing spots than all other
species known to Schrank ("alis albis; maculis
sparsis fuscis. Simillimus per omnia priori,
nisi quod maculae majores obscuriores"). This
description is more similar to Micromus variegatus
and I include it in its synonymy. The valid name
for the present species is Micromus angulatus.
