Field Marks: |
Dark wing with pale medial fascia.
Caution: all identifications of specimens, including those dissected or DNA barcoded, should be considered tentative. DNA barcoding suggests the possibility of a complex with similar undescribed species. |
| Similar Species: |
- 0089 Stigmella nigriverticella usually has a narrower pale medial fascia.
- Caution: the type of nigriverticella is missing and the true identity may be uncertain.
- Pinned specimens of related species. (Hint: select View by Region on the related species page.)
