| Taxonomic Notes: |
Choreutis sexfasciella (Sauber, 1902) is now recognized within the North American fauna north of Mexico with multiple reports from southern California. Originally reported as Choreutis emplecta, the names were synonymized in Heppner (2023). Although emplecta was transferred to Anthophila in Bippus (2020), Heppner retained sexfasciella in the genus Choreutis without explanation or reference to Bippus (2020). Also reported from Florida in Hayden et al. (2022). |
