| Taxonomic Notes: |
Endothenia quadrimaculana (Haworth, [1811]): Historical records of this European species in NA refer to E. nubilana. It was reported as "Introduced" in the 2023 checklist, based on recent records in ON and QC by Pohl et al. (2018), based on recent BOLD IDs. However those records have since been corrected to E. nubilana. |
